Here's a reply from my local affiliate:

First, thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding the CBS News story about President Bush's military record.

To say the least, we are very concerned about the controversy surrounding the memos used as the basis for their story. Letters and emails of concern like yours have been flooding WRAL as I am sure the rest of the affiliate stations across the country. CBS is feeling the heat. Below is the latest industry story regarding this CBS story.

It then prints CBS News's offical reply and then ends:

As for WRAL-TV News, which is locally owned and operated by Capitol Broadcasting Company of Raleigh, we will continue to provide the most accurate and unbiased local news to our viewers. I hope you will not penalized us for what CBS is doing.



Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. Please make sure your thoughts are heard at CBS News.


Respectfully,

Chuck deCourt

Station Manager

Wonder if more station managers will do this in the next few weeks?

The local GM (I met her in person during a station visit once) said she is passing comments on to the network. I made it clear I am not going to punish them for national stuff, but did say that though it is not always fair, network news does reflect on the affiliate. She agreed and said they are letting CBS know about this situation.
