Humorless Pittsburgh News Station Fires Employee For Graphic Calling Tom Brady A "Known Cheater"

A Pittsburgh TV station has fired an employee who used a chyron calling Tom Brady a “known cheater” into a broadcast on Monday, SI.com reported.
The offending joke, referring to Brady and his team’s unsavory past, flashed on the screen for two seconds in what was an otherwise rote pre-Super Bowl newscast.
Here’s the statement CBS affiliate KDKA shared with SI.com:
While fans are entitled to have personal opinions, we have a journalistic responsibility to provide unbiased reporting. The graphic that appeared Monday violated our news standards. The individual who created the graphic no longer works for KDKA-TV.

Seems pretty harsh! If you’re the poor soul who lost your job over something this silly, please get in touch and tell us about the weenie KDKA bosses who fired you.

If you're not allowed to report the news accurately any more, why bother?

And yet, Pitt fans cannot see their own transgressions

Tom Brady was suspended for cheating by the NFL. Roger Goodell practicality authored that headline himself. What’s the controversy?

A low level, behind the scenes, employee did something stupid and got fired for it. So what?

...and just when we thought we'd never see anything but fake news anymore.

And he'll probably get instantly hired somewhere else by a sports news outlet (internet or otherwise) that has a decent sense of humor

I feel like you’re the one who might have fired him.

I think this is correct.

He spoke the truth and his TB12 shit is also a scam invented by his partner who is a proven scam artist and liar. Brady is on the juice they busted Edleman for but since hes a QB the league doesn't care.

It's funny, but yeah I understand the firing.
