I'm a regular listener and contributor in Asheville. I just suffered through George Gershwin's "Clap Yo Hands" because the host thought,"the lyrics would be considered racially cringy- it's a good tune though". I have just 3 words for this- cut it out! - or you won't get any more money from me. Tom P***t

William Brangham's piece 7/11/22. I agree with the mother in this piece. It would be horrible to display the carnage of mass shootings on public TV. Show these photos to the US Congress and Senate. They could do something to stop the carnage in America, if only they would. Americans such as myself realize how horrible this is. Americans who don't won't be convinced no matter what evidence you show them.

1. The magazine shows photos/descriptions for the same program up to 3 or 4 times per issue. Why all the repetition, when it could instead inform readers by showing photos/descriptions of other programs that have no photo-desceiptions? 2. It's annoying to watch a program advertised and listed in the magazine and it turns out to be yet another repeated series. It would be helpful if the magazine indicated which programs are repeats!! 3. Too often, a series starts with episode 2, 3, or 4, etc. This is extremely irritating, and I've stopped thinking I simply missed it in earlier announcements/listings. I hunt endlessly for the earlier episodes and find them only for sale through my Comcast information. 4. I used to have Passport. However, besides being annoyingly difficult to navigate and find something, I watched 7 of 8 episodes of a program only to find episode 8 not there!! I was told when I called about it, that it might have been a mistake, and I could watch episode 8 when it aired a couple of months later. Not satisfactory!!!! So I dropped Passport. 5. I'm donating less and less to TPT because of these issues, and turning finally to Netflix, which is far superior so far, and when it isn't, I'll try Hulu. Sincerely, a dissatisfied TPT viewer, Jane Dugan, Mpls, MN

i would like to see PBS and NPR stop being just more propaganda arms of the DNC. not saying you should all have a conversion to being conservatives, libertarians, or anything else, but how about not being blatant advocates for anything leftist . nobody with a big D after their name ever does anything wrong, and nobody with a big R after their names is anything but a hitler wannabe. how about being classical liberal ? or have no agenda. just report science, political affairs, culture, in a way nobody can tell what your party thinks. you get a free ride on the public dime and most people don't watch or listen to you simply because they don't like being told they suck . and pay for it. why did al-jazeera america fold? because if people wanted to hear how much america sucks they could save their money and turn on american broadcast channels. NPR/PBS have always hired leftists and have never been neutral in reporting . you don't need an editorial position. let the guests provide that. the bias you show makes you resemble something from the days of vremya, radio moscow and pravda. organs of the party. stop it and people will turn to you more. i live in an area that once had an npr station. they held the annual fundraiser. i believe they got $150 dollars. the station was sold to the catholic church. people here in this area resent being told their country sucks. and their personal beliefs suck.

I used to watch McNeil/Lerher Newshour because it presented conservative and liberal views. It ceased being unbiased when the two founders died . I wish there was actually a conservative viewpoint represented from perhaps someone beside the NYTimes and Washington Post, neither of which represent any type of conservative consensus.

I watch this program every week and have noticed that it seems to focus heavily on African Americans, much more than the percentage of the US population that they represent. Yet, Irish Americans, a big immigrant group, seems to be under reported. It would seem that the show should focus more on representing different ethnic groups, based on their percent of the US population. That would be a fair benchmark. That way, no group would be over exposed at the expense of another important group.

I hope you will give this comment to Judy ,she will retire in the End of 2022. I wish you make public this fair Question.Abortion is in most cases more than survival for Woman. Rape ,Incest ,young woman not knowing the Consequences......If there mostly man I believe take the Right away from all this woman and believe abortion should not take place to help this Woman ....I respect their OPINION. BUT.....Then all this Man or Persons should pay for the cost raising this not yet born (unwanted Children, life tread to this mothers.) Furthermore help with this Children as soon as they are born. I know this Man or Priest are all TALK, but non of this people feel responsible. A shame that this people create so much Misery for mostly helpless Woman...and force to became Criminals by some states LAW. All Person make this Laws and and preachers should protect this woman but none will ever help, except they have a Family Member get Mention Problems. I wonder If PBS will ask people to see how wrong this Pros are.I hope you are for PEOPLE as you claim.

I don't want one red cent of my taxes going to CPB. My title pretty much sums up the reason except it doesn't mention the failure of your biased outfit omitting the horrible facts and truth about how terribly the Democratic Liberals are ruining the country with their open borders, underlying wealth redistribution policies and insane spending on more inane policies leading to insane inflation. You say they aren't trying to redistribute wealth? I guess then they just want to completely do away with the middle class because that's exactly what they're doing. Biden should be being ripped by the press right now for his inaction on gasoline and all inflation. Instead it's about how Trump is responsible for the repealing of Roe vs. Wade. Honestly the American press and CPB go beyond insulting my intelligence. They repulse me. Defund the CPB not the Police.

Y. Alcindor should not have been made a PBS anchor, according to c*****9@comcast.net. I also Alcindor's verbal tics distracting. She is a good reporter but she should not have been made an anchor at PBS. I wonder what other more qualified candidates were passed over when she was selected.
