Anchor in Wisconsin takes on bullies. A viewer wrote in telling this anchor she shouldn't be on the air because she is a bad role model because she is fat. Regarding the weight issue the anchor took it on and said do you think you are telling me anything I don't already know and told kids that their self worth is more important than what some negative person has to say about you and that we should be teaching our kids kindness. Now that is a role model. I also like the fact that Lady Gaga and Christina Aguillara have both taken on the media recently regarding their weight. Go Ladies! You make us curvy girls proud!
