  • Sad decline of a once great news program

    Nick Schiffin and Miles O'Brien are good. The rest of this "news" show just gets worse and worse. Boring interviews with celebrities and book authors and bits of clickbaity"news" that sounds like it came straight from social media posts. Politics Monday and Politics Friday are really awful. Just chitchat about stuff like a podcast. That is not news. Please deliver more *actual news* No more book promotions and artsy puff pieces about tiny irrelevant nonprofits.

  • So disappointing

    PBS Newshour was a place I’d go for truth and clear professional journalism. Not any more. They parrot regime propaganda and ignore the genocide in Gaza while feting Israel. I’ve stopped donating to PBS and my local NPR station. A sad fall for a this show.

    Always trustworthy. Hang in there. Trump will be gone soon and we can undo all his BB including defunding truth telling media.

  • Gary What’s His Name

    Gary should never be on PBS News Hour again. He is irrational. His arguments have no basis in fact… and they are insulting to the finest tradition of journalism that PBS represents.

Why uterine fibroids remain misunderstood despite affecting most women
Q: What are the main treatment options, and when is surgery considered?
