Social media has allowed people to ramp up their personal attacks on people in the public eye - because there is a sense they can do it anonymously.

At my age I can handle people writing junk about me on social media, but I sometimes air "mean tweets" on my show to highlight how destructive this meanness and bullying is to young people. I know how devastating it is for a young person to be the victim of such ugliness.

I felt vindicated that I decided to speak up for not only myself but women all across the nation who've been put down.

If you Google me, you'll find plenty of "dumb blonde" references - even though I graduated with honors from Stanford and studied at Oxford University. I don't let it bother me.

Gratitude needs to come back in a big way and I hope to encourage people to get involved.

Trust is the most important aspect of being a journalist. If people don't trust or find you relatable - you will not have success.

Our daughter was the last in her class to get a cell phone and she had to earn it. She still doesn't have Instagram although she asks me for it every day.
