In Honor of Anti-Bullying Month:
CBS News Anchor being Called Fat Responds on Air
On Tuesday, Jennifer Livingston, morning anchor for LaCrosse, Wisconsin's WKBT, took a moment to call a viewer who wrote in about her weight a "bully" and thank readers for their "inspiring" support.
The viewer wrote to Livingston on Friday, in an email with the heading "Community Responsibility."
"It's unusual that I watch your morning show, but I did so for a very short time today. I was surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition hasn't improved for many years," he said. "Surely you don't consider yourself a suitable example for this community's young people, girls in particular. Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain."
