Open to the Public Report of Comments Received by CPB
Open to the Public: 2014 Programming Comments Closed Captioning Issues Received on January 2, 2014 from LA I'm up late and I watch Nova and other shows that come on and enjoy them. The closed captions are either flashed on the screen for a fraction of a second making it impossible to read. When it does stay on longer, often it is a mess of misspellings, sometimes containing random symbols like, &@??#%, or even what looks like plain gibberish. I am not hearing impaired, but sometimes I need help to follow the dialogue. Could you please correct this? I have tried to find a contact with PBS but never could find an email address. So I'm contacting you. Please correct this. Thank you, Michael XXX Programming Complaint Received on January 6, 2014 from MA I am a Harvard affiliated specialist in Endocrinology. I am a long term contributor to my local station WGBH. I am appalled by your granting Dr. Perlmutter an hour for what was effectively an infomercial, worthy of a back channel cable network. There was a mis-statement in virtually every sentence so I cannot catalog them here, but the fact is that there is ample medical verification that eating sugar does not produce diabetes, that neither eating carbohydrates nor sugar itself is associated with dementia, and that diabetics do not have an amplified risk of diabetes. Gluten sensitivity is the disease du jour, and irrelevant to any of the above. How on earth was this material selected for broadcast ? Am I the only physician to call this to your attention ?

In the politics of strange bedfellows, sometimes hunters, landowners, native tribes, and environmentalists find themselves on the same side of advocacy. However, there are big questions about the best way to live with apex predators, especially when they've been absent from much of the landscape for decades. Should grizzly bear continue to be protected under the Endangered Species Act? How many bear are the ideal number? Should they be hunted as a management tool, or are there better ways to prevent human/bear conflict? Can large predators be allowed to migrate and populate naturally, or have humans claimed too much territory to allow that? EcoSense meets with farmers, hunters, native Americans, and organizations like Greater Yellowstone Coalition where voices with varying opinions find "common ground," and sometimes put aside their different perspectives for the greater conservation good.
