Baltimore TV anchor Mary Bubala ousted after asking controversial question about city’s recent mayors

A Baltimore TV anchor was ousted days after she received backlash for asking a question surrounding the race, gender and leadership abilities of the city’s recent mayors that some viewers deemed “racist and sexist.”

Mary Bubala, the anchor for CBS affiliate WJZ-TV’s 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. newscasts, no longer worked at the television station as of Monday, four days after her question to Loyola University Maryland professor Karsonya “Kaye” Wise Whitehead led to a firestorm of criticism, the station’s manager Audra Swain told the Baltimore Sun.

Bubala confirmed her departure in a Facebook post Tuesday and said the station she’s worked at since 2003 was “forced” to let her go.

“In my 22 years of working in TV news in Baltimore - 15 of those years with WJZ - I have always treated people with the utmost respect and dignity. I loved my job because I loved the people of Baltimore,” Bubala wrote in the post. “...Unfortunately, I now stand in the path of the tornado. WJZ was forced to let me go. I am saddened and shocked by this decision. Baltimore City has been my home for 25 years and I treasure and am so grateful for the relationships I have made with the people of Baltimore during this time.”

Here we go what happened to "Freedom of Speech " ? This is real truthful news.The latest leaders in Baltimore have been African Americans without any values or religion , it is a culture thing. The truth does hurt , but it now hurts the wrong people.

It's a darn shame when a legitimate question can't be asked in todays world. Baltimore is a haven for liars, thieves, crooked politicians, you name it.

"We need to have a conversation about race" , sure , like that will happen !

The Democrats idea of talking about race is talking about who won the Kentucky Derby. Liberals really don't believe in free speech, as a matter of fact they would like to trash the entire constitution.

When being a black female becomes a qualifier to voters to elect the Mayor, the failure of a black female can certainly be a qualifier for their own failure to lead.

I don't see a problem here. They failed, quit, and one is being investigated for criminal activity.

It's high time to elect a chinese transgender myopic amputee with cancer.

So, there. Problem solved!

It is what it is!! It's time for whites to get out of charm city let them have at it. You want segregation you got it but it's a damn shame that the blacks can't see their being manipulated by progressive liberal whites for their monetary gains. Stop buying into all this racist bullshit

They fired her for asking a question, but go to their website and look at this headline:

"For The First Time, The Maryland House Speaker Won’t Be A White Man"

I guess the editor should be fired too because this is offensive, right?

Double-standard much WJZ?

Since conversation about failure is not permitted.
Well expect Baltimore to become a worse cesspool.
They really need to rethink what direction they are to go.
How to get there.
But they will not. They are not in charge.

Just a thought. Where they looking for an excuse to get rid of her. Not that she didn't have talent but to replace her with a younger gal. It happens and is impossible to prove.
