“controversial gesture”. It’s a Nazi salute you pathetic journalist.
Also I wonder if Fetterman will be hiring her.
Wow, CBS still diligently avoiding calling any of this what it very obviously is to anyone not trying to protect Nazis. I guess CBS is happy to be known for visibly protecting Nazis.
CBS is
billionaireoligarch propagandaIt’s kind of like so much of the “liberal media” keeps calling those terrorists that stormed the Capitol (as part of something that was planned for fucking WEEKS and MONTHS) “rioters”.
They brought weapons, including guns, too. They planted bombs. They had a fucking gallows out. They brought zip-ties to restrain Congresspeople and who knows who else.
They let bullshitters on the right keep getting away with saying they were “unarmed”. That is a fucking lie and they let it slide so very often. And now their narrative is that these terrorists were “overcharged”, because I saw that dickhead Watters use that term more than once. The qons are apparently going to send brown people to Gitmo for being brown, meanwhile, these terrorists, who should have gone to Gitmo, are given a blanket pardon.
If they call it a nazi salute Musk will sue them and could win because he isn’t provably a member of a nazi organization. He could be a neo-nazi but CBS can’t call him one without proof.
He would definitely not win. What he did is a Nazi salute. Whether he thinks what he did is one doesn’t matter because he did a Nazi salute.
If I flip someone off, I can tell people I was just letting that person know I think they’re number 1, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t flip them off.
It takes a real coward to not call out a very clear and worldly infamous hand gesture that has existed for 80+ years, when a man that also spews hate rhetoric throws it not just once but multiple times. Further, to my knowledge he has never even denied it, just joked about it and criticized people that criticize him.
He would win because it is not just a Nazi salute. As another description can be used and he isn’t known to be a member of a Nazi organization and “nazi” is an insult Musk would gave what he needs to win a libel suit.
If you haven’t noticed the media that calls it a “Nazi” salute tend to be in countries where libel is harder to establish than in the USA. There’s a legal reason behind why all these American papers are avoiding this.
Finally even IF these media sources did win they will be out millions in legal fees.

Guess we’ll see how much these journalists with a spine will be successfully sued.
Your first link calls it an “alleged” salute which is different than calling Musk a Nazi
The second calls it “apparent” which again is different than outright calling Musk’s actions a nazi salute
The third doesn’t mention Musk at all and calls her salute a Nazi salute. This is because the recently unemployed lady likely cannot afford to sue while the wealthiest human in history absolutely can
Last link makes no mention of Musk.
NOT A SINGLE LINK shows what you suggest. This is because what I am saying is true.
She made a Nazi salute. The fucking media are complicit.
I’m fucking so tired of reading the words “a gesture.” We know what the fuck it is, and you do too you fucking cowards.
Even if you want historical accuracy, and you say it’s not a Nazi salute, it’s at best a neo-Nazi salute. So stfu.
Well said
“a gesture”
Wait, did she give the bird or something?
Also, I thought this happened last week?
Only if birds have evolved to do Nazi salutes. Which I guess you’d be the first to know.
Apparently, one has to add an /s to everything. I know full well it was a Nazi salute, this is commentary on how the fucking “liberal media” won’t call it such.
I’m not one of your downvoters, but I wasn’t sure if you were joking. For the second question, the story has been updated.

Anybody got that gif from the Daily Show?
