I like to think that people have a bit more tact, but I guess I'm setting myself up for disappointment there.

So it's ok to tell a kid she is ugly if she really is ? Or to tell a kid he talks funny because he has a stutter ? She wasn't singled out for inability to do her job because she's so fat she can't move her tongue, he just didn't like the way she looked and he called her out on it. Good for him, that really accomplished something positive in both of their lives.

I just don't see how in one thread about bullying people are saying one thing and then in here it's a whole different story (not you specifically but the general consensus of the issue).

So now you are qualifying.

Bullying as a term is gonna fall under the same category as hate crime to me. It means nothing.

Don't commit crimes. If it's motivated by hate, racism or you just need the cash for a quick hit of the blue meth has zero bearing in how a crime should be penalized. It clouds the issue with attempting to prove one's inner thoughts and motivations.

Don't be an *******. Don't say mean things to people. Boom there no more "bullying"

Listen, I ****ing hate fat ****s. But its not important for ****ing EVERYONE to be svelte and perfect.
actually if i had to venture a guess. a hot news lady would bring more rating, but that's her boss's problem not hers.

clearly her weight isn't really a problem. but the woman needs to learn to roll with the punches. if someone has a drinking problem everyone wants to step in, but a weight problem, woa! TABOO!

honestly, it it doesn't have direct effect on you, then dont complain, and this is one of those times. however, she made a big stink, because it bothered her, she called it bullying. it's not really bullying any more than a smoker being told it's going to kill them (which by the way is right on the lable. where is the anti bully advocates there. cigarette smokers should be free to die slowly in peace, free from awareness.)

It's not bullying when you talk about facts, ugliness is subjective, being fat is a fact. And its something that can be changed and right now its costing you and me lots of money to cover expanding health care costs for those poor choices.

Looks like you're going to have to come up with some funny of your own.
I thought there was a whole thread on anchor bitches?

This. And of course the broader media in general has picked it up and given it waaaaaay too much air time in support of one of their own.

What is strikes me most about this is the fact that we all know she and every other TV personality in the country *routinely* receive threats, complaints, and other general crackpot emails the contents of which would be considered far more 'bullying' than the one she singled out.

So yeah...I'm gonna go with the "hear me roar" aspect.

I wonder if this guy sent the same letter to every NFL lineman ? They are surely more of a popular role model then some random local morning news women.

I'm on the same page. When I first saw the clip I thought the kid wrote it rather professionally. He didn't refer to her as a cow grazing at chuck-o-rama. I feel she took this as an opportunity to boast her self up and have a moment on the podium.

Either she needs to be okay with the fact she is overweight and risk being told so, or change it.

Lets also be honest, people are made fun of for every damn thing possible; being too tall, red hair, being too skinny, freckles, being hairy etc.

He never said anything about being concerned for he well being, just the message she was sending to her community and girls in particular (which just shows what kind of person this probably is). Most likely this guy is some sort of crazy narcissist and she would've been better off to just delete the email...

Like I said above. NFL Lineman are 'fat' but are also in shape. I know people way larger then I am that could out 'jog' me.

Also, didn't we figure out that in fact fat people cost us less money since they die sooner ? http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworst...systems-money/

I totally agree that she should've just never brought this out to the attention of the public and is loving every minute of her new found fame...but that doesn't change the message she was sent.
