Taking on Another Troll

I've said it before and I will say it again, women in TV news have it much tougher than the men and especially when it comes to social media. 

Women are hit on, rated and just plain trolled much more than the guys. 

KMSP (Minneapolis) Sports Anchor Dawn Mitchell is the latest to get trolled by the underbelly of social media. 

This idiot told Mitchell she used to be cute before she got old. 

I don't think many guys in this business have gotten that kind of response on social media. Mitchell called out the troll saying, "THIS is the harassment women get on a daily basis," Mitchell responded. "You should be ashamed of yourself."

"I'm so over being abused on a daily basis," she added in a subsequent tweet. "Women are too sexy too young -too fat -too old - always too something. How about amazing at our jobs? How about amazing people? How about working long hours and long days & how I look to you is not my first concern? And how hurtful."

Dawn, don't let the bastards get you down. 

We also want to point anyone out there that is dealing with haters, to this Vlog.
