Free speech strikes again

I know what station I would consciously avoid if I lived there ...

Can you say first amendment rights violation?

Good lord, even in this story:

If it looks like a sieg heil and it walks like a sieg heil, if it remotely smells like a sieg heil, it’s a sieg heil.

The takeaway here kids, don’t do anything that looks like a Nazi salute.

Not to be laughed at, but total irony the station's call letters are WDJT.

lilgblad.bsky.social•36 days ago

This is disgraceful. I stand with the fired meteorologist! ✌️

pegofnevada.bsky.social•36 days ago

@cbsnewsconfirmed.bsky.social losing its integrity.

leemillar.bsky.social•36 days ago

He did Natzi that coming.

missmouse.bsky.social•36 days ago

The meteorologist might be on BlueSky already.

just followed her. Fired for telling the truth when this illegal Alien Elon Musk should be stripped of all his wealth and sent back to Canada.

Not a Sinclair station before anyone asks.

He loved Big Brother

LOCAL TV stations have long leaned very far right. Their viewership tends really hard right. If on the internet you see a video from a local station take a gander at the comments section. Makes ex-twitter look mild.

Definitely true in Baltimore

brynneridley.bsky.social•36 days ago

And this station's call letters are (and have been since the 80s) WDJT. Details like that would get edited out of a book for being a little too on the nose

Being anti-Nazi is now a fireable offense in America

tfielding.bsky.social•36 days ago

Since he got fired foe posting on social media, does Elon's offer to pay legal bills to sue his work still apply?

frostystevenson.bsky.social•36 days ago

Sam Kuffel is a great meteorologist. It's a shame that she was punished for speaking the truth about Musk and his nazi salute! I hope she lands somewhere better. CBS58 has real issues in who they will & won't support. Speaking about a different weather person they have who should've been fired!

patrick1775henry.bsky.social•36 days ago

Th media don’t want 2 hear th truth, whether from capitulation 2 DT or from sheer cowardice. Either way by their actions they have betrayed th values this nation was founded upon, and, that thousands of Americans went 2 war fighting th Nazi Party only 2 see things come to this. Shame of you CBS51!

Corporate media has always aligned itself with fascists.

viceroy14.bsky.social•36 days ago

So he was cancelled?

kidornery.bsky.social•36 days ago

Does @thecontrarian.bsky.social need a weatherman?

tearsofgaia.bsky.social•36 days ago

Free speech absolutism states no criticism of the new regime will be tolerated.

patrick1775henry.bsky.social•36 days ago

Shades and pales of Germany in 1935 are beginning to reveal itself; are we really going to sit idly by doing nothing? Germany did and look at what happened to them. Personally I would far rather die fighting for what is right than to live out my life as a slave to an evil government.

ambermarieb.bsky.social•36 days ago

So much for free speech

hecate66.bsky.social•36 days ago

Corporate media isn’t media. Americans HAVE TO turn it off. Now.

WTF 🤬🤬🤬🤬
