when to shut it down

[sir_eldren]

Sure, why not. I once called up the sports reporter for a local television station because I didn't like the way he protrayed the local hockey team. We got into a long, drawn out argument over why he should show bad footage of the team and why I felt it was wrong and detrimental to the team and their fans.

The long and the short of it is that TV reporters are still people and they've got information that you may want. What good is a news service if they don't do their best to provide the news? And why would they try to avoid talking with somebody who's a customer (as far as they know...).
