Where is Robert F Kennedy Jr for President Coverage??

Feedback:

The sidelining of Robert Kennedy Jr.

Missouri
Feedback:
I am writing to convey my disappointment at the obvious censuring of the presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy Jr. While CPB is required to maintain a strict nonpartisan and nonpolitical stance in all its activities, it seems odd that NPR continues to ignore the increasing popular campaign of Mr. Kennedy, who, in some states is polling upwards of 25%. This can only be due to a concerted and coordinated effort to censure Mr. Kennedy from your programming. As a longtime listener of NPR, I encourage CPB to stick to its own principles and support the democratic process by covering Mr. Kennedy's campaign.

RKFJr coverage

New York
Feedback:
I’ve been a supporter of NPR for many years and an enthusiastic listener. Your lack of coverage of RFKJr is very upsetting. When you do mention him - every time I’ve heard it mentioned like this “ conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy”. It’s shameful that you are so blatantly being biased. I will no longer be donating and will encourage others to stop as well. Sadly- Christine Pepe

Nonbiased reporting.

Feedback:

I am shocked and disappointed CPB has been completely ignoring Robert Kennedy Jr’s presidential campaign. CPB is supposed to unbiased and nonpartisan. Ignoring that this is a three horse race and that Kennedy’s favorability is higher than Biden or Trump. Americans deserve to be informed so that people elect the next president and not the media or corruption in govt. We expect higher standards so that we don’t devolve into a completely govt media controlled state which indicate we have ceased to be a democracy and instead have become an autocracy. Please protect the Constitution and give fair and balanced coverage to all candidates.

PBS Passport

Maryland
Feedback:
I recently had a frustrating experience trying to work with CPB based on how the affiliates are structured. I have donated to WHRO/V in Hampton Roads VA for years when I lived there. I appreciated the programing and donating gave me access to PBS shows on Passport. After moving to the DC area I donated to WAMU expecting that to continue. For reasons I still don't fully understand I've since been told that I would have to donate separately to WETA to get passport in this area. I know no one was trying to be misleading. There's no reason WETA/WAMU would know about or share WHRV/WHROs policies, but the different structure left me misled when donating to NPR had very different results in the different regions.

Liberal bias

California
Feedback:

Sirs. The recent editorial regarding the liberal leaning nature of NPR equally applies to PBS. We are regular viewers on the News Hour at dinner and are repeatedly struck by the slanted reporting and bias viewpoints of the “experts”. Not subtle. I would suggest getting commentary from someone other academics. Real word working people often have equally valuable ideas. Respectfully. David T******n. Monterey California

When are you going to replace this woman with a grating voice and poor grammar? Don’t listen to Sunday morning NPR any longer. Miss it but can’t stand her voice. Has nothing to do with her race but the tenor of her voice.

I'm a longterm NPR listener and bonafide anti-rascist, but I absolutely cannot bear Ayesha Roscoe's voice, please!

Amna Naval

New York
Feedback:
I totally agree with the comment I just read on your web site, written a while back. Ms Nawaz is a terrible anchor, very unprofessional and off-putting. I have mostly stopped watching the program unless I become aware that she will be away. Her off site interviews at the border are ok, altho her boasting reference to speaking Urdu and Spanish was an unnecessary comment when I watched her last evening. It was none the less delightful to realize she was at the border and her presence would be limited. I do believe PBS can and should do better.

Amna Nawaz

Feedback:
Having recently watched her interview with Robert Kennedy Jr. She was unprepared and accusatory. She refused to provide evidence to RFK regarding his views on certain subjects, yet claimed she had proof and would show him. She did not show him on air, so what's the point? She shouldn't be allowed to just railroad over a guest, spewing her poison and nonfactual claims. She clearly had no real evidence, and just hear-say from other media. I commend PBS for having the decency to at least have RFK on. I'm not American, but I grew up when his father and uncle were in politics, trying to make a better world, just as he is. It's a shame that Amna Nawaz was so clearly biased and unfair in accusing him of things he said, when he insisted he was being misrepresented. Next time one of your hosts makes a claim, they should have their so called "proof" on hand to show the guest and the audience. Thank you.

Weekend Edition Sunday

Minnesota
Feedback:
I can't listen to Ayesha Rascoe anymore. Her voice is grating. What finally broke me, however, was when she told a caller on Sunday "you did good. You did good." She should have meant "well." Fortunately, I like the CBC's Sunday morning program.

Feedback:
Did someone highjack your site. It says that Amna is terrible, which she is not. Tonight she is at or near the Guatemalan border for an excellent report. What she does not say or emphasize is that those who want to come to the US "legally" must have money and means. Someone who just wants a "better life" will not get an immigrant visa. Period. There is no way for such a person to immigrate "legally." She should know that and emphasize that!!!

Feedback:
I too find the voice and delivery of Ms. Rascoe on air, grating, immature, annoying and distracting to the wonderful content she covers. And disagree with the defensiveness of the statement "this is my voice". Perhaps consider there isn't a host, a singer, speaker or narrator alive that doesn't care about how they reach their audience. Like most mature adults they do; they listen to themselves and take lessons just as singers do on how to use their mouths, and vocal cords to modulate and deliver either the sung or spoken word.

News summary changes

Florida
Feedback:

I always listen to the 5 minute news summary in the morning. It is the only verbal report in our home. This year you made the news feed into other programming (especially annoying on weekends where the host has a shrill grating voice) so I have to dig the phone out to shut it off. NOW you lead into 5 minutes of news with THREE commercials!!! You’ve lost me. I do not listen to commercials or watch them on TV. I pay extra to Amazon Prime & Pandora to avoid them. Unfortunately there is no such option on your service. Paul S****l S******a C**********m@yahoo.om

Washington Week

Wisconsin
Feedback:
Since the Atlantic took over leadership of the Washinton Week program, the program is never as diverse in choosing its guests as it was previously. Tonight’s program is a good example. The moderator and all of the guests are Caucasian. I watch the program almost every week to learn from the best in journalism. That designation not only includes those who represent the best news outlets, but it also means that a diverse set of voices are heard. Jeffrey Goldberg does not seem to place real value on diverse voices. Is he the problem?
