A week after the Patriots got Bob Sutton fired, someone else has lost their job due to the AFC champions, albeit for different reasons.
Via SI.com, KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh has fired an employee who placed the words “known cheater” on a graphic bearing Tom Brady’s name.
“While fans are entitled to have personal opinions, we have a journalistic responsibility to provide unbiased reporting,” KDKA said in a statement issued to SI.com. “The graphic that appeared Monday violated our news standards. The individual who created the graphic no longer works for KDKA-TV.”
It seems like a little much, especially for a media outlet in a city that despises all things Patriots. It ultimately was a joke, even if management at KDKA-TV didn’t see the humor in it.
