WKOW-TV keeps pounding away at WI Consumer Protection

WKOW-TV keeps pounding away at WI Consumer Protection.  The premise seems to be: Everyone who contacts CP is supposed to be helped. If they are not, CP isn't doing it's job.

Is this fair?  Does everyone contacting WKOW's own Call for Action Helpline receive help?  Of course not!

Having worked at CP, I know it helps a lot of people...just as WKOW-TV is helping consumers.
