How was the letter writer bullying? An email has no power. Nobody else would have ever known about it had she not decided to tell the world. She gave it power.

It is tough to be a tv journalist, especially a woman. It was about 20 years ago, but one woman reporter in my city almost lost her job because she got braces on her teeth. The producers thought she would not have the right look or her speech would change. This caused an uproar from the audience and they backed down and she kept her job. But looks are very important in TV news. I am surprised this woman is even employed, and its not because of one critical viewer, but the image the producers want to project.

Oh, you are just to funny.
There is no reason to bully you, you know who you are.

She has attention. What she did was call someone an asshole when he was acting like an asshole. Our society would be a lot better if there was some shame in acting like a jerk.

She made a private communication public, that alone makes her the aggressor in this situation. Someone wrote her a message she didn’t agree with, that is NOT bullying unless he wrote dozens of them. Her overreaction comes across as hysterical.

So anyone has the right to say anything they want and not bear responsibility for it? I’m all for free speech, but not for avoidance of consequence when you say something.

You are right if she only is dealing with one letter. However, being a heavy reporter, she probably is exposed to a lot of people telling her about abuse of kids while the herd is on an anti-fatty binge. It’s stepped up. Alot of bullies are treating fat people like they treat smokers or like Muslims treat infidels.

There is just no need for more campaigns of hate against groups of people by the nose bud nanny staters. I can see the anti-fat thing developing into employment discrimination, medical care discrimination and worse abuse.

She could have written him back.

Instead she issues a FATWA and calls for his beheading for not agreeing with her.

Bullcrap. She didn’t say to behead him, she just called him a bully. Most bullying doesn’t take place in public, it takes place in private.

If we would bring shame back as a needed part of our society, then a few more people might think about being shamed before they open their mouth and say things without considering how it might affect them.

Maybe she have taken Michelle Obama or Michael Bloomberg to task then. Writing an email is NOT bullying. She did a lot more bullying in her 15 minutes of hysterics than a stupid email that no one had heard of, which she gave power by bringing it to the world.

Will they give the letter writer equal time to respond?

Of course not, he has been maligned, tried and executed on TV without a trial for having a different opinion than the host. The station should be sued for airing this vile personal vendetta unless they let this guy on to respond.

I would like to see the guy sue the TV station. They allowed this woman to spew her personal vendetta for 15 minutes. That station needs new management.

She could have just deleted his email and ignored him.

I don’t agree with the letter.

That wasn’t my point.

It was a private communication and she chose to bully him on the air and the station allowed it for 15 minutes.

He should sue, I bet he will too. He should have time to respond to this personal vendetta she launched.
