TV anchor fired for suggesting Baltimore needs a change from black female mayors

[TheComputerGroup]

A Baltimore TV anchor has been fired after suggesting the city needed a “different kind” of mayor after three black women had held the post.

Mary Bubala, 49, was fired from WJZ after 15 years at the station following a huge backlash from her comments while covering the recent resignation of mayor Catherine Pugh amid a corruption scandal.

‘We’ve had three female, African American mayors in a row,” the anchor said on-air.

“They were all passionate public servants. Two resigned, though. Is this a signal that a different kind of leadership is needed to move Baltimore City forward?”

After an outcry, she later tweeted a “sincere apology,” insisting the “question did not come out the way I intended.”

“I am so deeply sorry and sincerely regret the words I chose,” she wrote.

However, WJZ general manager Audra Swain confirmed to The Baltimore Sun that “Mary Bubala is no longer a WJZ-TV employee.”

“The station apologizes to its viewers for her remarks,” Swain added.

Bubala posted to Facebook after her firing, insisting that it was not in her “heart to intentionally cause this kind of harm.”

“Unfortunately, I now stand in the path of the tornado,” she wrote.

“WJZ was forced to let me go. I am saddened and shocked by this decision. I fully intend to fight to restore my reputation because I’ve invested my heart and soul in my work and my city.”

Why did she apologize? She was in the right in stating what she said.......there needs to be a change in Baltimore.

We don't see black people being fired for saying too many white men are in office......political correctness will destroy america & many peoples lives.

She didn’t suggest Baltimore needs a change from black female mayors. That’s not what she said at all.

Looks like that’s exactly what she said. Maybe you didn’t read the quotes though. Or maybe you can’t read?

 

[Betallsports]

think if she just said the city needed a different kind of mayor or even if she just said 3 Female Mayors
this would be a non-issue

in today's world you can't use the other part

Who gives a Shit...

I have a lot of Black Friends...

not a BIG DEAL...

CHICAGO — Voters in Chicago on Tuesday elected former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot to become their next mayor, making Chicago the largest city to elect an African-American woman as its top elected official.
With votes in 95% of precincts counted, Lightfoot had 73.7% of the vote and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle 26.3%.
The win by Lightfoot, who identifies as a lesbian and will be Chicago’s first woman of color to serve as mayor, also means the Windy City is the biggest U.S. city to pick an openly gay mayor...

life goes on...deal...

Is it different when Democratic politicians say we don’t need old white men to be elected as president?

Why don’t you link that quote big boy? Or are you just making shit up?

Baltimore needs more than a mayor

Think before you speak when in a role as public as TV newsperson, what you say isn't private it's fucking broadcast, you can say whatever you want when talking with your friends, over the airwaves is a different animal

Well, its (D)ifferent if you belong to a certain party....

She shouldn't have used race or gender, that was her mistake in this toxic / juvenile culture of political correctness and there's no need to go there

Baltimore, like many of our urban areas, is a city in decline. In large part because of the destruction of the fabric of inner city families, kids are trapped in a cycle of despair and poverty. Baltimore, like all urban areas that share it's blight, has been run by DEMOCRATS for 50 years and counting. These communities vote for the same party making the same promises year after year after year, as they somehow manage to blame their failures on their opposition. It's somewhat surreal

It's time to give change a chance, that's all her message needed to be

Well, she is right ya know. Won’t help too too much, but it’s a start...

Not even on a gambling message board

You don't have a problem with a black woman mayor who enriched herself fraudulently, but you have a problem with a TV anchor who commented about it??

If this was a white male who stole money from the University of Maryland and a black TV anchor commented about it, you'd agree and would be in hear singing their praises.

You are a racist fraud and a ghost of multiple handles.....a truly pathetic person.
