Dangerous pseudoscience
Posted: March 4, 2013 by Rosie Drake
As a cancer patient who received a bone marrow transplant in 2010, I am acutely sensitive to the dangers of pseudoscience. Through my journey with my disease, I talked to a number of patients who were seduced by claims of non-evidence based cures and breakthroughs presented in the media. Sadly a number of these individuals have passed away and I now take a strong stance when I see ridiculous cancer cures presented by the media. Gary Null and Stan Burzynski are complete quacks. While they make money selling snake oil, their followers die. Please do not air programs that support their dangerous non-scientific ideas.

Pledge week programming
Posted: March 4, 2013 by Name Withheld
I am dismayed to hear that channel 12 will be airing a program praising Dr. Stan Burzynski's "alternative" cancer clinic in Texas. If the station wanted to present a journalistically solid report on Burzynski's operation (including the flimsy evidence for Burzynski's "cures" and the clinic's checkered past as regards regulatory problems), that could be worthwhile. But it's a terrible disservice to your viewers to present a one-sided program that amounts to an infomercial for Burzynski's operation, helping it to continue to rake in millions of dollars from desperate and deluded cancer patients. Please reconsider this disastrous choice. Thank you.

I think it is criminal that you would showcase this doctor. I hope you will be offering opposing points of view from the scientific community to demonstrate the quackery of The Burzynski Institute. Better yet, please interview the families of victims who gave thousands and thousands of dollars for a cure but whose loved ones did not survive. Those stories will make you weep.

Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski
Posted: March 4, 2013 by Name Withheld
I'm extremely disappointed to find out that you will be running this INFOMERCIAL in an effort to raise money for PBS. This man, Stanislaw Burzynski has been running a medical scam for more than 30 years. He charges desperate cancer patients hundreds of thousands of dollars to participate in his clinical trials. This in and of itself is highly unethical. But on top of this he has yet to publish one bit of evidence in any respected peer reviewed journal that his antinerplaston therapy works. No other researchers have been able to reproduce what he claims are his results using antinerplastons. Burzynski has had more than 30 years to show whether or not his treatment works. He's refused to do so. Why? What is he hiding? His behavior is that of a charlatan and con man. Why would your station want to be a shill for such an unethical greedy man?

Posted: March 4, 2013 by Glen Crofford
On a recent talk show Mr Kopel made the statement that, our system is working, refering to ref 64. My opinion is that our legal system is "weak" at best and this is demonstrated every day. As an example using one of the latest issues on the ballot: . How did this even get on the ballot? Dosen't Federal law trump State law? Can't the Federal Goverment stop all funds if the state does not comply? It is clear that the people submitting this did not have a complete plan. How can a issue that has no positive value and is strictly for recreation only find a place on our constition? What is next, the game of marbles? And, if the state can have laws that conflict with Federal laws, then can cities or counties within the state have laws that conflict with state laws? and Is it OK for the state to create laws that take away citizen rights on the Constition of the United States? How far will this go? And when there are people testifying about a new amendment to our state laws, how is it that money and people from other states and countries, are brought in to further their cause especially when they do not live here or own property in the state and can't vote in ellections? I have lived in colorado 75 years and in the past 4-5 years the country has been split, politions are questionable and the system DOES NOT work!!

Program: Burzynski The Movie - Cancer Is Serious Business (2 comments)
Shame on CPT12 for being complicit in offering false hope to vulnerable families struggling with cancer. In its promo, CPT characterizes Stanislaw Burzynski as a "pioneering medical doctor" who has developed a "life-saving medical breakthrough" that has brought about the "recovery" for cancer patients in his care. Nothing could be further from the truth. "Burzynski The Movie" is pure advertisement (i.e. commercial programming) for a very expensive treatment that has, in the widespread opinion in the scientific community, failed to show that "antineoplastons" have any effect on cancer, much less cure it.

Burzynski? Seriously?
Posted: March 4, 2013 by Name Withheld
I'm shocked that your station is airing the infomercial on Dr. Burzynski. I hope that you're living up to your mission of presenting the full story surrounding his 30+ years of selling his treatments in the absence of any reproducible success. I recommend that you invite an oncologist on air to counter the unproven claims that Mr. Merola has made in his movie and to other media outlets. Your viewers deserve the right to hear the dangers of this treatment from medical professional. Questions that I would expect you to ask Mr. Merola: 1. Why hasn't Dr. Burzynski published any peer reviewed results from any of his more sixty FDA studies? 2. Why do patients pay higher prices for treatment at his clinic than they can get at facilities delivering the same care? 3. Why is the publicly traded Burzynski Research Institute stock still trading at $.15 if his company has really found the cure for cancer? Do the investors know something that the scientific community doesn't? 4. Why does the clinic routinely attack critics like Rhys Morgan? Thank you Dean Steadman Firestone, CO

Quackery and Pseudoscience programming
Posted: March 4, 2013 by Name Withheld
Please, please, please stop promoting quackery and pseudoscience - Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business, Part II, Gary Null videos, Dr. Fuhrman’s Immunity Solution, and The Quantum Activist, to name a few. Do you know or care that Stanislaw Burzynski charges patients huge sums of money to take part in his "clinical trials", whose results he doesn’t publish? Do you care that the Burzynski Research Institute is currently being investigated by the FDA? Do you care that patient after patient after patient has died while under Burzynski’s care, despite his promises to cure them? People are dying because of this stuff and they and others are contributing $$ promoting this stuff, which could actually be spent to help people instead. Believing doesn't make it so. Please, please, please don't do this. This is not about "freedom"; this is about scamming people, being deceitful, and selling false cures. Up till I always thought public television would be above this. I was wrong.

Burzynski Movie
Posted: March 4, 2013 by Name Withheld
I am appalled by your decision to show this film on Colorado Public Television. Burzynski charges vulnerable patients huge sums of money to participate in his "clinical trials," whose results he hasn't published since 2006. The movie provides a few cherry picked examples of "success," but a simple search reveals multiple patients who have died despite his "treatments" and serious questions about his methods. I suggest you read this post for more information: http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2011/11/29/burzynski-the-movie-subtle-its-not/ In Boulder where I live, cancer patients are regularly bombarded with pseudoscientific promises of "alternative" cancer cures that seriously endanger their lives. In showing this movie, Colorado Public Television is making a major contribution to this problem. I will not be donating to CPT so long as you continue to promote this kind of dangerous material.

Burzynski? Seriously? I thought public television was supposed to operate in the public interest. There is nothing beneficial in quackery that leaves families with not only dead loved ones but also empty bank accounts and crushed hopes. The journalistic value of "showing all sides" applies to politics, not science. No matter how incisive you think your program is going to be, it will only promote the idea that there's something to Burzynski's bizarre claims. Don't do this.

I have to agree with another's statement, "David Kopel has got to go.". I think Penfield Tate is an intelligent, careful and enlightening guest, whose opticians are worth listening to. I'd like him to consider a run for governor. Kopel gives us reason to believe that anyone can get a law degree. That is, intelligence doesn't matter. But , really, did DU even vet the guy? He Lies on every show. Does he really believe that the house can just give Obama the option to make the cuts he wants in this sequester? I saw John McCain and Lindsey Graham both explaining why this isn't legal, and yrt Kopel believes iit is? Seriously, why would anyone consider DU a real law school? And, the guy just drones on. Pitiful. Thanks for the show. We usually watch each week, but mute Kopel. Does he pay you to be on?

Get rid of your infomercial pledge drive announcers
Posted: March 2, 2013 by Sebastian Contreau
Just consider for one moment, how much more $$$'s you might make through TV campaigns that give away gifts such as the Hulabaloo DVD's and CD's?! Everything is going great, viewers are interested, then all of a sudden, the CPT12.ORG announcers get on, and go through what feels like a neverending spheal on what it is you're trying to give away for pledges. YOU KILLED THE INTEREST!!!!! Let the MC's representing the gifts just do what they do. Take a queue from the infomercials that make $$$'s. Your announcers are annoying and make people just want to change the channel. YOU'VE LOST POTENTIAL DONATIONS! My wife is a big online purchaser, you caught her interest to donate the $250 to get the Hulabaloo DVD & CD set. And all she wanted was to see more on your channel. But then, your CPT12.ORG announcers came on, and kept talking, and talking, and talking, and talking. My wife put away her credit card and said "screw them". My career is in marketing after spending year in corporate sales in high-tech. Here's a sales-101 lesson - "Once you made the sale, SHUT UP, don't over-sell and turn off the customer". That's what you guys do with your pledge drives. You get the MC's representing the give away gifts to make the sale. At that point, DON'T GET IN THE WAY. Let the MC's continue to get you your pledges for you. In other words - "SHUT UP", the sale was made. But you don't Shut-Up, you get your announcers on so they can talk, and talk, and talk (overselling), at which point, you lost your audience, and potential pledges to other channels. Don't dismiss this, have your marketers go into a room and weigh what you potential $$$'s just might be taking a queue from how Infomercials operate.

What's with all the quacks?
Posted: March 2, 2013 by Ford Canfield
You are sure showing a lot of programs featuring doctors selling dietary supplements lately. Believe it or not some people don't accept everything they see and look up people on the internet. I've found that one of these doctors actually doesn't believe there is a link between HIV and AIDS and another shows up on quackwatch. I believe this is a commercialization of PBS and I find it offensive. They're usually just selling books, DVDs and CDs and while I realize those are nice perks for people who pledge I read a review of one of their books and apparently it suggests you go to his website to take a "free evaluation" which seems to nearly always recommend the person buy his supplements which cost lose to $800 a MONTH! Presenting alternative viewpoints and controversial theories is one thing, but at this rate I fully expect a 2 hour special from that company that advertises pills to make men "bigger" on commercial networks anytime now. You are not the PBS I have known for most of my life nor is it like any other PBS station I have seen in any other city I've lived in.

This is what PTSD looks like: http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/tc/post-traumatic-stress-disorder--symptoms I haven't supported PBS or NPR since they went corporate but I'll send you guys a donation. Has using this 9/11 film for fund raising been productive? Thanks for your response. Jesse

I saw an announcement on Channel 12 that streaming of Australian Football was available now, they referred us to the website but I can find no mention of it. Where should I navigate to? Thanks

Thanks for your e-mail.
The programming we broadcast on Channel 12.3 is passed through directly from MHz Worldview. We, therefore, have no control over the content or schedule unfortunately. Looking at their website (www.mhznetworks.org/mhzworldview/programming/) I see the following message:
“After a bold 18-year run, Australian Football League programming will cease broadcast on MHz following the July 7 national airing.
The official AFL on MHz Roku channel will also be discontinued at that time.
As a non-profit organization, MHz is no longer able to carry the content and delivery investment of AFL for the remainder of the 2012 Season.
Catch the latest action streaming online or visit AFANA's website to see where to watch throughout the U.S.
Direct comments to MHz via email or on Facebook.”
So I hope this answers your question but I am sure it is not the one you were hoping for. Perhaps they will receive some donations that will bring it back sometime soon?
Sincerely.

I live in Golden, CO and have Comcast Cable TV and Internet service; however, your TV schedule listing for Golden (Jefferson County) does NOT list "Comcast cable". Why not?

Programming Problem
Posted: February 16, 2013 by Deborah Campbell
Program: Henning Mankell's Wallander (2 comments)
We're wondering why you keep showing the same 2-3 episodes of Wallander over and over again. We were very excited to see you were showing Season 1 starring Krister Henriksson. I think we may have seen the first 2 episodes of that season when all of a sudden the station switched to showing a different Wallander series starring Rolf Lassgard, but not in any particular order with the same few episodes being shown over and over again. Why can't you show one or the other in episode order? This is really annoying for your viewers. Deborah Campbell in Loveland, CO

As you may be aware, 12.3 is coming directly from MHz Networks in Virginia. If you go to the MHz Networks website: http://www.mhznetworks.org/schedule and select Henning Mankell's Wallander, you can see that the episodes repeat at different times and even different channels. I can only speculate on why you keep seeing the same episodes coming up, but perhaps with the help of our schedules at http://www.cpt12.org/tv_schedule/primetime_schedules.cfm along with the MHz schedules you should be able to see all the episodes that come on. Hope this helps.

I'm always intrigued and fascinated with Wright's works. Flawed as they may be they're still a major influence on even us non architects.

Program: Globe Trekker (3 comments)
I watched this show on February 10. It was about Israel and the different foods popular there. The first half was about Israeli food and was quite enjoyable. The second half was about Palestinian food and was full of propaganda, about poor Palestinians being killed by Israelis, Israelis taking "Palestinian land" and harassing Palestinians while they pick olives and showed bias not just from the people making the food but the narrator as well. Why make a show focusing on food a propaganda piece? There was no information from Israelis such as how Palestinians use olive trees as cover to attack Israelis or how the "security barrier" ( not "separation barrier" as mentioned in the show) has cut down on Palestinian terrorism by 97%. It would have been much more enjoyable if the show had just been about food. This is one of the reasons I do not support PBS financially and I am not alone. It is a shame as PBS does have some good programs such as the ones with music.

Name of program on green education
Posted: February 13, 2013 by Preston Enright
Hello, You aired a program, maybe a documentary, a few months back about green education for kids. I remember it featured a school in San Francisco where the kids spent a lot of time outdoors, sometimes doing field studies, sometimes meditating. I didn't catch all of it, but I wrote down the title to order the DVD, and now I can't find it. Would you happen to know the title of the program I'm looking for? Thank you, Preston
