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.
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.
This is honestly really scary. Why should someone's livelihood be ruined for calling something what it is?
The Nazi police state is here.
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.
Free to do a nazi salute but not free to criticize it.
Cool = CBS blocked, I don't support Nazi's
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.
This just in: Members of the news no longer allowed to report on the news. Stay tuned as this story devel…
… wait, where are you taking me?
They are less tolerant of their employee cursing than a billionaire spreading nazi salutes.
Every person at that new organization that does not resign in protest is one step into First they came ...
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.
The laaaaand of the free 🦅
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.
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
Boy it's great we don't have a social credit system like they do in communist China!
Obeying in advance. Our "news" media are despicable
Where are all the far right freezy peachers to protest this firing? Did they suddenly turn woke?
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.
If Sam Kuffel needs help paying rent, I’ll donate.
Her replacement will be predicting a lot of Heil in the future
many wisconsin stations are downsizing and consolidating, closing local news operations and studios, etc. one ownership group (different than this one) is actually getting rid of local weather persons and outsourcing their weather to the weather channel or some bullshit like that. which will work real well when localized bad winter weather hits, or tornado/flood seasons.
at any rate, this station (and others) are probably on the constant lookout for a reason... any reason... to shed someone from their staff, and if replaced--will replace for less money.
At least we now know that WDJT-TV is pro Nazi.
Looks like team anti cancel culture can’t help themselves again.
Who could have guessed that?!?!?
FTA: with CBS affiliate WDJT-TV
We all know what to do.
Does she have a gofundme?
