A TV news anchor provided a public response on the air after being called the N-word in an email from a viewer. Sharon Reed, an anchor at WPCH-TV in Atlanta, put up the email for viewers of the newscast to see and then offered her response, which you can see in the video below.
The Meredith-owned station, formerly WTBS in Atlanta, is on UHF Channel 20 and is virtual channel 17 on local cable.

It’s a story because she chose to address it on-air. And good for her. We are living in a time when racists are feeling empowered. I applaud any effort to expose and shame these disgusting people. And why wouldn’t you?

No. Stop it. You’re just wanting attention…no one would have known about this had you not said something..attention whore.
