    I guess holding your employees to a higher standard than other news outlets makes you literally Hitler.

        I do get it. Basically saying, “they had it coming,” publicly, at work, to millions of people about someone who was just killed is generally frowned upon.

        All of the other people who did it for slain Democrats should have been fired as well.

        I agree with his sentiment; Kirk did have it coming. But I’m not dumb enough to say it at work because I know there would be consequences.

          No, you don’t get it. The point is the media bends over backwards to protect fascists and their images, but the same courtesy is never extended towards anyone who chooses not to submit to the fascist party line. The entire system is built to defend and amplify the most vile of pro-capitalist, pro-fascist voices and silences anyone who speaks out against them. There will never be consequences for slandering anyone they declare to be an enemy.

          Word.

          Cause I keep hearing that Hamas has a base under that hospital therefore those kids had it coming. Looking forward to all the firings coming.

              I think it’s funny how liberals think that their worldview is all disconnected pieces of random data floating in an abstract space. Don’t ever relate anything to anything else. It’s not like your way of thinking can affect how you think of two different things at once. Everything’s just random and individual, apparently.

                Thinking that it’s appropriate for people to be fired for inappropriate remarks on air and thinking Israel did nothing wrong are two very different things.

                The fact that you think they are mutually inclusive speaks a lot to your knowledge of liberals (here’s a hint, it’s not much).

                  I think the point is that it might be more socially acceptable to say “Hamas has a base under that hospital therefore those kids had it coming” as “Charlie Kirk’s own hateful thoughts and words leads to hateful actions, so maybe he had it coming”. Why has nobody been fired for making remarks of the former kind on air?

                  Also, I think @Rom@hexbear.net said this to you 5 hours ago and you didn’t respond.

          But you’re dumb enough to normalize firing people for saying shit you claim to agree with by saying they “hold their employees to a higher standard,” directly supporting fascism as it continues to ruin people who say good things while showing favoritism towards people who have actual fascist opinions.

      Were you born this fucking stupid or did you just wake up this morning and choose to insult the world with your existence?
