Based on the following email I received this week, it appears some blog readers think I need to get over the negative feedback a few viewers choose to pass on. The truth is, I like to share it online to reinforce my job involves a lot more than delivering the headlines. But no sign of me going off the deep end… yet:
Tsk Tsk Tsk.
Another comment from a viewer about your
hair/appearance and you went off the deep
end again.
Sure seems odd.
You would be better served (and hopefully
appreciated)…if you would detail a “typical”
day as a Mom and as a news anchor.
I do not think the KWWL audience has a
clue about your extremely full days. It
takes a lot to be an loving, effective Mom
and wife. It takes a lot to be an outstanding
member of the news team at KWWL.
Your daily schedule is enough to choke
most of us.
And you, Tara, are letting some snippy comment
about your appearance become worthy of a
response on your blog? SHAME ON YOU.
A lot of folks check your blog daily…just to
see what you/your family are doing. To see
another post about appearance/hair is
waaaay beneath you.
Pick yourself up & get on with your life/work!
Looking forward to a positive future blog!

Don’t worry about anyone with a negative comment. If they are going out of their way to put you down one way or another, they are definitely not worth it!
I love reading all of your blog, the negative and the positive
We have always been told that “sticks and stones will break our bones but words will never hurt us.” It isn’t true. They do hurt and it doesn’t bother those of us who care about your inner spirit that you want to share on occasion. Gives us something more to pray about.
* Sigh *….This comment from the viewer sounds like a shirttail relative of the ORIGINAL viewers comment. I guess it’s like my Nana always said…”When someone talks about you, they are leaving the other person alone. If your blog bothers someone they have the option to NOT look at it or go there as if they dont like a channel TURN IT to another one. Ugh! Worse than kids in need of a nap. Sorry, some people just have to criticize or their day doesn’t go well.
I think you bring a good circle of topics to the blog big and small. I at times think you really put yourself and your family out there for many too see. Which many of us learn a great deal or relate to. That is what makes you real! I have been surprised that KWWL will let this blog option be available to the others and yourself that open your personal lives up to us. Always wondered how unprofessional it may be viewed by some. It would then be reflected back on the news station. I love the reality and learned a few things from it all, so keep up the great blogging!!
No, Tara, you are NOT too negative. I love reading all of your blogs…. negative and positive. Gives us all something to think about and be thankful for. I think Tsk Tsk Tsk needs to get over it and move on. Keep up the good work!!
Ya know, if they don’t want to read it, no one is forcing them to read it…
Love all of your blogs!
