Freeze peach.
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.

I did my part 🫡
The laaaaand of the free 🦅
And the home of the ignorant.
And freeze peach!
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.
Boy it's great we don't have a social credit system like they do in communist China!
Is that station owned by Sinclair?
Oddly, no.
Who could have guessed that?!?!?
