He could have just not sent the e-mail. He did, he didn’t expect to be told off, I’m sure. But he was.

It is like someone who breaks into a house to rob it and ends up getting shot. Those who have the same mentality as the thief scream that he shouldn’t have been killed for robbery. But I assert that if you don’t want to be killed, you shouldn’t break into a house.

Likewise, if you don’t want to be called out for being a jerk, don’t act like a jerk.

It was an email. Your analogy makes no sense.

It is like someone knocked on the door to inform them their sprinkler is leaking and being blown up by a bazooka.

15 minutes of uninterrupted, one sided vitriol.
That broadcast license should be revoked.

He was a jerk who got called out for being a jerk. I’m sure he didn’t expect to be criticized by the public figure he privately criticized, but those are the risks you take.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Because you called me fat, well, uh your a Bully, that’s it! yeah your a BULLY!

And because you called me fat I can tell the world that Critical Thinking is no longer necessary! yeah, That’s the Ticket.

I am waiting for Rod Serling to explain the past few years of my life.

You spoke of beheading, and my analogy makes no sense?

He wasn’t trying to be nice and let her know the sprinkler was leaking, he was being a jerk telling her he thought she was too fat for television. He got called a jerk, because he was.

an email VS 15 minutes of broadcast assault

which is the bully?

The station should be taken off the air for allowing that kind of one-sided personal vendetta to be aired

Just as a sidebar to your other communications on this thread tonight,

I agree that it is entertaining (to say the least) to let my announcer use the opinion segment for her personal diatribe. (MY A.M. personality who happens to be the wife of my 6:00 P. M. Host)? No dysfunction with that News Powerhouse.

I am certain they slant their news for Romney, too.

I disagree. He had to instigate the exchange. The fact that he did not anticipate a response does not absolve him of the fact that if he hadn’t sent the e-mail she wouldn’t have had an e-mail to respond to.

So he is the bully. Sometimes, not as much anymore, bullies get thier asses kicked by those they are picking on.

He picked on her, she kicked his ass. Bully got what he desrved.

puh-leeze

They abused their power and should be held accountable.

He was no bully, She was. They should be sued, the station should have its license revoked. They used their airtime in a manner that is just pure bullying.

It was an email, she could have written back.

Instead she decided to use her powerful position and bully pulpit. He has no bully pulpit, all he did was write a private email with his opinion. That is not bullying. The bully is the TV station.

An email vs 15 minutes on TV. Where is the real bully in this equation?

So if someone sends you an email you don’t like, you will go to their house and burn it down and shoot anyone who runs outside.

“He had it coming, he started it”

seriously?

She seems pretty to me.

the person writing the letter is being cruel as a distinct part of their character.

Like most of us, Jennifer washes her flaws everyday and knows herself well. Likely she focuses on the positive aspects of herself and her life without the lowlife need to insert pain of the flaws she struggles with and overcomes with the stronger parts of personality and person.

I raise a drink to her.

The letter was politely written and gave her good advice.

She should stop making excuses for being fat and lose weight.

I'm guessing the anchor is not one of Eric Holder's people because if she were, no one would dare say a word about how fat she was.

I would like to see the guy sue the TV station.

My nomination for the most ignorant post of the day. Sure, there are other posters who also suggested suing but you beat them to the punch and posted first.

How in the h3ll can he sue? On what grounds? Even is she said something slanderous, he couldn't sue. SHE NEVER MENTIONED HIS NAME!!

Her husband released it on the internet and everyone seems to know who it was. 15 minutes of airtime for a personal vendetta is very excessive.

Kenneth misrepresented himself. Kenneth worked in a law office looking over documents but he ISN’T a lawyer. Kenneth is a security guard by night and a book reviewer by day.
