Mary did an excellent job on AIR and you could not find a better person. it was a shame to ‘fire’ her ot make her look bad. She is not a racist in the least. May she continue to do what she is very good at and I hope she will be very successful at her great work wherever she is.

MARY FIRED UNJUSTLY???
1) Nothing she said was racist
2) Everything she said was factual
3) Reporters are to be “truth police” and report only facts so we the people can decide. Its NOT what MSM does breaking ethical journalistic rules daily. It cloaks color, cloaks religious affiliation of news makers, cloaks political party of those who have alleged a misdeed. EVEN after court of law finds them guilty
4) A truthful reporter doing her job
5) If the thin skinned folks suffering from the very contagious ‘selective offended syndrome’ continue to control truth, then WJZ and the rest of media are finished and should be dealt with accordingly – starting with changing the channel.
6) THIS IS JUST A FACT – The Baltimore Association of Black Journalists took issue with Bubala’s questioning as a reporter. The Black Journalists organization actually said “….. demonizing African Americans and women as poor leaders,” Hahaha ……. HELP me here for a minute folks
Did these complaining black journalists study math???
Thats 3 in a row by my count
OK What else??
So the predictable response is attacks form lefties that after 22 years of service to the News viewers of Baltimore this Emmy Award winning reporter who adores Baltimore is slain by the predictable sword of “go to action when failure happens” sexist and racism rants blaming everybody and everything else for the failures found in EVERY major Democrat controlled shitty in America
Where am I wrong? Somebody please correct me.
Maybe somebody like Elijah from the Congressional BLACK Caucus could chime in and chat with us about division from his Black Caucus seat.
7) For those unfamiliar with Mary Bubalas firing – here’s what happened.
In an interview with a Loyola College professor Mary stated, “We have had three African American female mayors in a row,” They were all passionate public servants. Two resigned, though. Isn’t it a signal that a different kind of leadership is needed to move Baltimore City forward?”
AND THAT SIMPLE, HONEST QUESTION FOLKS WAS THE ATOMIC-BOMB!
Mary could have implied for new leadership- a black male, yellow male, pink tranny, or OMG a white privileged loud mouth businessman who could clean up Baltimore Shitty once and for all.
GO MARY we need justice, not racist politically correct targeting of anything that can be twisted!!! Bravo Mary.
