People hardly ever call their local news bureaus and complains, in my experience. When I have done, because of blatantly one sided reporting, or violations of privacy of individuals with their reporting, or salacious reporting or a host of other things that impugn the objectivity of a report, they do seem to respond. Its just when they think people could care less, they let their biases and political agendas run wild.

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!
