We need more people in these positions calling out Musk as saluting like a nazi; I just feel bad that they are loosing their jobs
Dear News Media. Your job is speaking truth to power, which means you’re going to make a lot of enemies. So unlike other big companies, the point of your legal department is to get you OUT of trouble, not to keep you from ever getting into it. Having principles in the business world isn’t cheap or easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is.
Your news media is just a propaganda organisation owned by the ruling class
So why is CBS affiliate WDJT-TV in Milwaukee Wisconsin defending the speech of an apartheid-loving fascist who did a full-on nazi salute on national TV? And if that’s not what they’re doing, then why did they fire that reporter?
That’s the question that every real news outlet should be asking.
Because nobody wants their meteorologist weighing in on political issues
Its Not political to call out this fucking obvious Nazis. Everyone should hate Nazis and this is in no way controversial.
“political”
okay
It was on her private Instagram story, she wasn’t even broadcasting it to the general public. You really want everyone to start thought policing? You gonna start snitching out your neighbours for being Jewish too?
I do. Many of the people here do. So what the fuck are you taking about?
She probably believes in climate change too, so political!
When the richest human in existence, who will have an official position in the White House for bankrolling the president, performs not one, but TWO Nazi salutes while standing behind the presidential seal during a presidential inauguration, I want EVERYONE, including my meteorologist to speak up on that political issue.
Look at his name. He’s a troll.

😭Oh noes I broke a rule that allows you to claim safe space when you’re trying to rile people up oh noes
You should retract your ego and get yourself a better education.
FTA: with CBS affiliate WDJT-TV
We all know what to do.
Looks like team anti cancel culture can’t help themselves again.
Freeze peach.
Free to do a nazi salute but not free to criticize it.
The culmination of the Paradox of Tolerance.
The position people tend to see as “criticized” is that which they directly or indirectly get from the Press, and the Press is bought and paid for and has been working as a Propaganda arm of a subset of the population rather than as Journalists, for decades.
IMHO, the Consent for “Billionaire openly making a Nazi salute during Presidential Inauguration of Far-Right populist multi-millionaire” has been Manufactured and the acceptance of this by many and feeling of impotence about it by many others was never the product of natural Tolerance.
PS: In fact, the very events on the article the OP posted - that somebody in a public-facing position in the Press was fired for being a dissenting voice - give weight to the point I’m making.
Next we see indian good luck charms everywhere?
The laaaaand of the free 🦅
And freeze peach!
And the home of the ignorant.
Oh man, those poor folks still on X, fighting and hoping that they still have the freedom of expression. Have they not seen any WWII movies? Just sitting around won’t do anything to stop the hate and what the President and his crew are up to.
Boy it’s great we don’t have a social credit system like they do in communist China!
Cool = CBS blocked, I don’t support Nazi’s
Speaking of Nazis, we don’t pluralize with apostrophe.
CBS affiliate, which means its a local station. Milwaukee, specifically.
Wisconsin is a piece of shit so that doesn’t surprise me
I don’t split hairs, CBS is CBS.
I mean, you’re not wrong.

It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS
Wow…. It’s like he’s reading for the role of a 1980’s corpo-villain where a rag-tag group of teenagers have to use their movie-thematic skills to overcome his cartoonish villainy.
Coming soon to theatres near you: it’s C(eo)BS.
What’s even sadder is this was all the way back in 2016. They showed us who they are and whose side they’re on a long time ago.
Yup. They absolutely did.
It almost makes me want to see them lose the lawsuit Trump filed just out of karma. Almost.

I just can’t understand how some people can stand behind this and defend it. If a major news station is either being forced or did this themselves, than I just don’t know what to think of this.
Denial and misinformation
Her replacement will be predicting a lot of Heil in the future
This is honestly really scary. Why should someone’s livelihood be ruined for calling something what it is?
Fascism.
He’s also on a list for when their squads start knocking down doors and murdering their enemies, I guarantee it.
He’s probably got at least another year before that frog is boiled enough though. Hope he enjoys it.
The Neoliberals too have been using exactly the same technique to crush dissent, since it gives them plausible deniability (i.e. they claim it was for some other reason than silencing somebody) which is the essence of how they apply Force (people aren’t violently made to do or stop doing something, they’re just pushed into a situation were they have no other option or see the example of what happens to others when they don’t comply)
A specifically Fascist method would’ve involved violent use of Force, for example arrest or her being violently attacked on the street, rather than indirect methods like this firing.
Let’s not leave the other Far-Right ideology of the hook just because their methods are are better PR-wise: their disempowering of the many and subversion of all the pillars of Democracy helped pave the way for the Fascists.

It’s good to reach out to WDJT-TV (DJT huh?) and tell them they are cowards. It’s also good to reach out via her public social media and let Sam Kuffel know that what she did has support.
