Critics of a recent KSTP report claiming that Mayor Betsy Hodges was flashing a "gang sign" have taken to social media to object, dubbing the scandal "pointergate."
On Thursday, some plan to voice their concerns in person.
The chairman of Hubbard Broadcasting, the company that owns KSTP, is speaking this week at Augsburg College in Minneapolis and plans for a protest are already underway.
As chairman, Stanley Hubbard oversees local radio and television stations across the country, including KSTP.
