Below are comments sent to four TV networks. I don't count Fox as a news network and they would pay the least attention to my comments anyway.
NBC

Is the result I received for my search.
ACA is big news, and a lot of people are complaining
about it. Why don't you complete the
story, tell the truth about Improved Medicare for All. You are doing your viewers a disservice by
denying the existence of H.R. 676, the Conyers Bill. You are doing the country a disservice. You are helping kill 45,000 people annually
in the U.S. just because they cannot afford insurance. You are aiding and abetting the healthcare
establishment to put countless people into bankruptcy. Did you know that of the bankruptcies filed
in recent years, over 60% involved medical bills? And of those, over 75% of
those people had insurance when they became sick? Clearly, insurance offered by
the for-profit companies is not the answer.
What is the point of a free press if you don’t report the
truth and the whole truth, holding bad actors accountable to society? You have
become corrupt as Congress. This is not a good time to be an American and
unless corporations drop the corporate personhood stuff and recover
responsibility for corporate citizenship first and stockholders next, it will
become far worse.
CBS
Searching CBSnews.com for “single Payer” gave just three
relevant results today, December 29th, 2013
I’m pretty sure Walter Cronkite would be ashamed of your
present organization.

ABC
My search of abcnews.go.com for single Payer gave several
results for this year. First, I noticed the endorsement of 'Single Payer"
by Colin Powell. In Dayton, Oh your affiliate doesn't have the most popular 6pm
news. With this search result, I will make it a point to watch ABC news at
6:30. I am hoping I will see more coverage of the benefits of Improved Medicare
for All and how it is better than ACA and will create more jobs than it
destroys. See PNHP.org and healthcare-now.org for more.
CWTV
Causes? Why not do something that will "Save the
Humans"? How about running some specials on Single Payer, Improved
Medicare for All. You could feature Colin Powell, Wendell Potter, Donna
Smith. They will all tell you that the
ACA makes no sense and the longer we put it off, the more it will cost in lives
and money.
