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.
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.
The Nazi police state is here.
The laaaaand of the free 🦅
And the home of the ignorant.
And freeze peach!
Boy it’s great we don’t have a social credit system like they do in communist China!
I did my part 🫡
Sent. They won’t care, but I let them know how I feel about their Nazi support and my 100% blocking of everything CBS. I urge others to follow suite.
Same. Here’s what I wrote in case it helps anyone:
I’d like to express my deep disappointment regarding your firing of Sam Kuffel for posting on social media to call out Elon Musk’s egregious display during the presidential inauguration.
There was zero ambiguity about what Musk did – so little ambiguity, in fact, that media in Germany cannot show images or videos of the moment because his gesture is illegal there.
Your willingness to bow to this appalling display of hate is contemptible and, though I no longer visit Milwaukee regularly, when I do, I will be avoiding your programming. I will also tell my friends and relatives who still live there.
This is also a stain on CBS as a whole, and I will be avoiding all CBS programming in future.
Please consider how bad this makes you and your parent company look. It’s despicable for a media company to hold such little regard for free speech.
This is far more eloquent than how I said it, but it’s pretty much the same message.
I’m sure your message was just as good; we each have our own voice. Thanks for sending one. We all need to do everything we can. Sometimes that’s protesting, sometimes that’s sending letters. Every action matters.
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
Cool = CBS blocked, I don’t support Nazi’s
CBS affiliate, which means its a local station. Milwaukee, specifically.
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.
It almost makes me want to see them lose the lawsuit Trump filed just out of karma. Almost.
Yup. They absolutely did.
Probably owned by Sinclair
Speaking of Nazis, we don’t pluralize with apostrophe.
Does she have a gofundme?
FTA: with CBS affiliate WDJT-TV
We all know what to do.
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
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.
*She

Obeying in advance. Our “news” media are despicable
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.
Look at his name. He’s a troll.
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?
She probably believes in climate change too, so political!
Its Not political to call out this fucking obvious Nazis. Everyone should hate Nazis and this is in no way controversial.
I do. Many of the people here do. So what the fuck are you taking about?
Is that station owned by Sinclair?
