    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.

    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.

      Joke’s on them. Project 2025 plans to dismantle NOAA and gut/privatise the National Weather Service.

      Who will pay for their weather forecasting once nobody will give them that data for free (under zero government funding)? They could just stop doing weather entirely, I guess, but millions of people rely on local weather reports to know whether to go to school or work. How do they plan to pay for that data?

      I can’t believe how short-sighted some CEOs and mgmt types insist on being.

    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.

    I just can’t understand how some people can stand behind this and defend it. If a major news station is either being forced or did this themselves, than I just don’t know what to think of this.

    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.
