You were a bit nicer than I was...
I was respectful but firm.
You might want to edit your e-mail address out of your post.
And your full name.
Thanks, didn't think about that. I edited the last name but left the e-mail. It's on my profile so anyone on here that wants it can get to it. I'm not that much fun to talk to though...lol.

I would advise NOT to click on the link for the tv station as it only helps them with hits to the website. That is my opinion.
Here's a mirror (I figured they might take the story down eventually anyway

lol great ideaIf you want to be critical of the news story. Don't just send it to that station (they can simply ignore it), send it to the other media outlets in the area, too (newspaper, other TV stations.)
Let them eat each other up.

Just wanted to show you guys a copy of the e-mail I sent!! I was very controlled.
(I can't believe it. I'm so proud for keeping my temper).
Hi, I just wanted to contact you about Andy Wise's newstory entitled "Gottadeal is Nottadeal". I am a loyal GottaDeal user and I would just like to say that I think this newstory was very inaccurate. Yes, there are some Black Friday prices that are the same price as they are normally. However, that is the way retailers are. Sometimes they will put a regular priced item on their ad because they think it will sell. And as for the Wal-Mart ad, Andy Wise said that all Brad did was copy it word for word off Wal-Mart's website. I fail to see how this is possible since GottaDeal had the Wal-Mart ad posted on October 21st. Wal-Mart only posted the ad on their website just recently. Also, I saw the initial Wal-Mart list when it was posted by a regular GottaDeal member. It was only put on the official list a few days later after being confirmed. I even spoke with a manager at Circuit City the other night when I was in there and he was confirming lots of the sale items for me. Their ad was posted last week and is still not available on their website. So either GottaDeal got the correct ad or the manager was straight out lying to me. If your station feels the information is completely inaccurate, maybe you should do a follow-up story. Seeing as the ads will be in-hand tomorrow on Thanksgiving Day.
I also wanted to let you know that GottaDeal.com currently has over 67,000 loyal members and some are in your viewing area. An unresearched story could decrease the number of your viewers!
Thank you for your time and I seriously hope you consider looking into this matter.
Sincerely,
Miranda
Very well politely put! Good Job

All the report was designed to do was to be contrarian and glorify the reporter when instead it exposed what a total jackass he is.

But they're a news organization, when faced with the facts it won't matter what packaging it comes in, they'll have to run a retraction. And it sure as heck better get as much airtime as that drivel did!
If only it were true.
I'm afraid that only when those facts are packaged in such a way as to illuminate what they have actually done wrong, together with a reminder of the potential consquences, will they do anything further.
