Loathsome Patriots Fans are Ganging Up on the Fired Pittsburgh News Producer
Published:
Let’s check in on the Pittsburgh News guy who was fired yesterday for telling the truth.
Michael Telek was canned by KDKA TV for writing “known cheater” below Tom Brady’s name on a lower-third chyron, but Brady, as we all know, played a role in the Deflategate scandal and served a four-game suspension for his inexcusable and reprehensible actions.
Therefore –
He is a known cheater.
KDKA canned Telek anyway, citing “journalistic responsibility” or some other mumbo jumbo. Telek is now making the rounds, appearing on CNN and some radio programs and podcasts to talk about his misstep.
Most interesting to me is a GoFundMe that was apparently started by Telek’s friends in order to help him out. Apparently the dude just bought a house. The fundraiser has pulled in $2,100 as of writing, money that Telek says he will donate to charity instead of keeping for himself.
Patriots fans are flooding the comments part of the fundraiser with their typical Masshole behavior:
More nonsense after the jump:
Yeah! Tell ’em Shawn! Beat LA!
Jesus Christ Ann, just relax.
These Patriots fans are just nasty and abhorrent people, defending a cheater and putting down a journalist who was just trying to spread the truth.
