How openly biased you have to be to get fired from the Twin Cities Pravda
2020-05-04
[AlphaNews] KARE11 meteorologist Sven Sundgaard was fired, Friday, shortly after he called conservative protesters "Nazi sympathizer gun fetishist miscreants."

Mid April, Sundgaard described protestors who oppose Governor Tim Walz's stay at home order in highly disfavorable terms via Facebook. Two days after Alpha News reported on the weatherman's now-deleted post, he was dismissed from his position "due to continued violations of KARE11's news ethics and other policies," according to the network.
Really to bad, nice guy but such obvious TDS, blatant lefty bias in public got him fired? Odd considering KARE 11 in general has open bias.
While KARE 11 did not specify that Sundgaard was fired directly in relation to his anti-conservative rant, it is widely speculated that had he withheld his thoughts on the protestors, he would still have his job.

#6  It was a smaller beautiful Alpine doe if I remember correctly. I worked with that breed for years in Scandia. The kids are hilarious.

Given Sven's rant I have to think everyone atwedon'tKare 11 had to know. And of course our POS fraud news here refuses to quote him regarding why he was fired.

#2  One Saint Paul patrolman told us about a local TV guy that was a serial shoplifter. Apparently not a very good on. The local station was reluctant to fire the prick over possible sexualty lawsuit (gay).

Would like to tell you about Sven's pet. To many off color jokes would ensue. Really to bad though, seemed like a nice guy.
