I am distressed that PBS Newshour continues to emphasize how divided our country is, but when studies are done, it is much less divided that the news media (including PBS) says it is. They seem to want to sell news time and newspapers, so the more distressing the news, the more the newspeople think they will sell, even when it is not accurate. I am very disappointed in Judy Woodruff who continually emphasizes the negative, and pressures interviewees to answer questions which are impossible for anyone to answer. In addition, she often asks unimportant questions (which come from uniformed individuals as if they were legitimate questions), which makes her look unintelligent and uniformed. Please work with her, helping her to ask important, legitimate questions. It is embarrassing to have a person in her position fumble the news. I watch PBS almost every night, and continue to be disappointed. We need someone as good as Gwen Ifill. There must be someone like her out there- please start looking now. Thank you

MSMBC, I really appreciate that you are always on, and I can find up to date information. However, I wonder about your news reporters mathematic sense because each one of them today has said that the 1.9 million tests supposed to be there tomorrow is great. However, that is about t/2 of 1 per cent, not even one percent of the 360 million US population!!! That is clearly NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. What we need is 100-200 million tests, so we will know what the rate of infection really is. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE SAY THIS AND ASK FOR MANY MORE TESTS over and over. I live in Washington State and our citizens are sick and dyingbecause there were no tests for sooo long- even today we do not have enough tests. One of your guest just now said that the 1.9 million was a drop in the bucket, but the anchors did not jump on it and target that was way too little too late. Instead the VP Pence said only those with serious symptoms should be tested. (I suspect he has been told to assure that the lowest numbers possible should be tested and reported.)That is absolutely wrong: As many as possible should be tested, as they did not Soeul South Korea. Their numbers are now accurate; ours are already out of date and inaccurate. Only by testing as many people as possible do we find out how serious the humbers really are. It must be reported and emphasized in the interviews and also in the news broadcasts. Please do so. ' Thanks, and keep up the good work!!! Gayla
