You Fired You're Anchor, But.... (Patreon)

Last week, FTVLive told you that KARE (Minneapolis) has parted ways with Weatherman Sven Sundgaard after a Facebook post in which he quoted a Rabbi.  

Rabbi Michael Adam Latz posted about the people holding rallies to reopen businesses in the midst of the pandemic and called them, “white nationalist Nazi sympathizer gun fetishist miscreants.” Sundgaard quoted the post from the Rabbi in a post of his own and for that, the station fired him. 

KARE announced Sundgaard’s firing on Facebook, saying, “Due to continued violations of KARE 11’s news ethics and other policies, we have made the decision to part ways with Sven Sundgaard," read the post. "We hope you continue to turn to KARE 11 for your news, traffic, weather, and more.” 

Looking through KARE General Manager John Remes social media, show a couple of tweets that he liked on Twitter. 

We added the black bar to both photos to make them a bit more work-friendly.

Now look, what KARE's GM looks at on the internet is his choice and we do not argue that in any way. 

But, when you start liking pictures of "Big Titties" and other naked pics on your station branded Twitter account, that's a bit of a problem. 

It's also not a good look when you just fired your popular weatherman for his social media posts and here you are liking some nudies. 

I'm sure after Reemes or his bosses read this story, he will quickly go through his likes and we know of at least two tweets that he will likely unlike. 

Guess the social media rules at Tegna (KARE's Owner) don't apply to the GM's. 

Just saying....
