You might want to reconsider your effectiveness, if all you are going to so is make a phone call to a TV station receptionist.
I worked the phones at an Atlanta, Ga Radio/TV station once upon a time.
Your carefully worded rant got a checkmark in the appropriate audience response form column.
For/against.
Faithfully turned in at the end of the shift.
Unless the deluge of complaint calls about a program change or cable power outage jammed the incoming lines.
Now if you physically took the time and effort to show up in the lobby, it didnt matter how weird your objection seemed, you got to talk to someone besides the switchboard operator.
LOL!

Well I generally call the program director. I have always been put through. Sometimes I talk to the reporter directly. I make them aware that some of us see when they produce a one sided report and help them to see what the other side might be. It hurts their voluminous egos to be called biased, even though they are. I asked to see two sides of the story the next time they do it and generally they grudgingly give time to the other side.
