"A Wisconsin lawyer who wrote a TV news anchor to tell her she is too fat isn’t apologizing or retracting his assertion.
Lawyer Kenneth Krause of LaCrosse told WKBT anchor Jennifer Livingston in an email that he briefly saw her morning show and was “surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition hasn’t improved for many years.” Among the publications with stories are the New York Times blog the Lede, the Huffington Post and MPR News.

Livingston responded on the air. “The truth is I am overweight,” Livingston said. “You could call me fat and yes, even obese on a doctor’s chart. But to the person who wrote me that letter, do you think I don’t know that? That your cruel words are pointing out something that I don’t see? … I am much more than a number on a scale.”
Livingston went on to point out that October is anti-bullying month."
