![]() ![]() They tend to be much more forthcoming regarding the why’s of their appeals, $ goals, and often their progress in reaching those goals. Doctors without Borders, UNHCR, Immigrants Rising, for example. With my limited income I support a small number of aid organizations, e.g. I can’t go out of my way to support an organization so irresponsible to the public it at least somewhat depends on. I find it disrespectful to me as a consumer that you never tell us, the public, how much money you are seeking to raise as you beg for money, Likewise, you never tell us how you use your funds. If other people are like me, I can understand if you don’t achieve the level of personal donations you wish. ĭuring regular programming can’t you find a better way to bridge from 50-60 minutes? I wonder why you don’t have more corporate sponsors? The endless replaying of sponsors’ appeals in not encouraging of support. The filler shows are old, repetitious and of no interest to me and possibly others. I mostly avoid KQED apart from the NewsHour when you are fundraising. I mute all your long fundraising spiels if I happen to be tuned into KQED. That’s less than12 hours maximum KQED time a week, though it is less during your multiple 2 week long periods of fundraising. I give what I do to KQED because I watch the PBS NewsHour 4 or 5 times a week and 5 or 6 other shows on channels 9 and 54 each week.

Robert Costa is no longer at Washington Week or the Washington Post, for that matter.Ĭosta was then replaced by Yamiche Alcindor, who sees virtually every issue in terms of race. After the Mueller report came out, Costa refused to apologize to the audience, even though it was the minimum he needed to do to restore his reputation. Costa would begin each show by breathlessly announcing new breakthroughs in the Russian collusion case. She hated Republicans and made no effort to conceal this. Gwen Ifill brought an “edge” to the show, now renamed as Washington Week. When PBS wanted Bode to bring more “edge” to the show, he refused and was then fired. When Paul Duke left, he was replaced by Ken Bode, who carried on in the Paul Duke tradition. Whatever their personal views, they would try to give honesty analyses about the political news and would sometimes differ among themselves. He had great panelists on, such as David Broder and Peter Lisador. I have been watching Washington Week in Review since the early 1970s when Paul Duke was the moderator. ![]()
