I always wonder what the motivation is behind mocking weight...if she's not infringing on your personal space - WHO CARES??? Get a real complaint about someone!
You are SO right, seeing her in that screenshot I suddenly feel very thin! I should be thanking her.
I know Rita was often thought of as a "tabloid" type reporter, but I thought she did well covering many different stories and acting as anchor interviewing many different people.
But it is unsettling to see the men on this and other boards obsess about her weight. She's just about "average" as compared with most people I see every day. It's just that these men seem to want their newswomen to look like "babes", and anyone who deviates from their standard gets trashed.
