    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.

      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

    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.

      Currently playing through Cyberpunk just to have some kind of preparation of what is eventually to come.

            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

              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.

      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.

    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

    Where are all the far right freezy peachers to protest this firing? Did they suddenly turn woke?
