It takes a lot of courage to speak out against fascists in power. Not enough Germans did it and look what happened.
If you’re a good person, you probably don’t want to work for a corporation that enables fascists. Hope this person finds a better employer.
If Sam Kuffel needs help paying rent, I’ll donate.
Her replacement will be predicting a lot of Heil in the future
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.
Every person at that new organization that does not resign in protest is one step into First they came …
They are less tolerant of their employee cursing than a billionaire spreading nazi salutes.
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
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.
Its Not political to call out this fucking obvious Nazis. Everyone should hate Nazis and this is in no way controversial.
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.
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
Looks like team anti cancel culture can’t help themselves again.
Freeze peach.
And many, many more are going to follow, as Americans learn that they’re no longer free to criticize those in power.
And the day will actually come when the notion of someone just being fired for criticizing those in power will seem quaint, since it will then be far more likely that they’ll disappear - sucked up into the ever-hungry maw of the corporate police state slave system.
I have been thinking I need to buy a gun, now that you mention it.
I’m not a gun owner. Never had even an ounce of desire to be one.
It’s time.
Currently playing through Cyberpunk just to have some kind of preparation of what is eventually to come.
Cyberpunk future will look good compared to where we’re probably headed if history is any indication.
Yeah, we’ll get all of the surveillance, climate disaster and police state without any of the cool implants…
Same! Though, I really wish monowires existed in real life.
Monofilament wire is a real thing, it just doesn’t have the tensile strength to act like it does in fiction.
Be that as it may, I meant it doesn’t exist as it does in the game. It stands as my absolute favorite thing in CP 2077. It is- by far, the most elegant way to turn one big one into several little ones.
😀
(I’ve run a few monowire/knife only builds with no combat quickhacks. Probably the most fun I’ve had in the game)
By far my favourite time killer in cyberpunk is to use the monowire to control NPC cars like a chariot, stand on the roof and hit one side and the NPC turns the other way
ROFL! I had no idea that was a thing!!
If you like Mono-filiment whips you should read the Paratwa trilogy by Chrisopher Hinz… it’s about assassins that have 1 mind in 2 bodies, thus more eyes and coordination skills. They train from early childhood to use these Black eggs that extrude a monofilament whip… it take years to control them so they don’t whip about and cut yourself to pieces.
Oh that sounds interesting. Thank you! I’ll look into it!
you could also read Burning Chrome…
If we can’t criticize them openly then we’ll have to use the other avenues made available via the Constitution. That will just eliminate the warning that negative public sentiment would normally give.
Are you referring to solutions that lie somewhere between the first and third amendment?
This is the way.
This is how you become a firefighter without going through vigorous training.

Summary
Meteorologist Sam Kuffel, who criticized Elon Musk’s “Nazi” salute on social media, has left CBS affiliate WDJT-TV. Her departure has sparked criticism from users who argue it infringes on her freedom of expression.
They should know that you can only infringe the “conservative” freedom of expression by moderating hate speech/ideas/beliefs, or by calling a Nazi a Nazi. Anyone Left of Nazi in the US has a narrowing window of “freedom of expression”.
Because as we all know, the founders were granting Freedom of Speech to Fascist, NOT ANTIFA, just like Jesus wanted. /s
The Nazi police state is here.
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.
Probably owned by Sinclair
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.
Wisconsin is a piece of shit so that doesn’t surprise me
Where are all the far right freezy peachers to protest this firing? Did they suddenly turn woke?
They’re too busy arguing that Elon didn’t actually perform either Nazi salute he very clearly performed on video.
And I’m not joking.
