What a ridiculous world we’re living in that someone who does a full on nazi salute in front of millions of people is facing no consequences for his actions, but someone who criticized him has lost her job.
You know, I remember a time where things like freedom of speech, expression, and the press were a thing. Where you could criticize a government official (or in this case, someone pretending to be one) and not have to do things like lose your job, cough up millions of dollars, or have to apologize for stating facts.
And for those wondering why everybody's suddenly referring to it as an "arm gesture" instead of a "Nazi Salute" is because they don't want to have to get fired, sued, and forced to apologize anyway for saying it. Trump has left a permanent chilling effect on freedom of the press that will linger long, long past his presidency.
Absolutely shameful. I hope the management at this station and CBS in general get a ton of flak for this. Cowards shouldn't be in charge of journalists.
Does the "WDJT" station ID mean they named it after trump's initials? Could be a total trumptard station.
Side note: fuck Allen Media group who are firing a shitload of good meteorologists - they are killing local weather departments to centralize it all with Weather Channel (Allen Media group) coverage.
