Local news agitator out of a job after she made a snide remark about Baltimore mayors being Black women. |
After the revelations of misuse of city funds and unethical behavior came to light, Catherine Pugh resigns as mayor of the city of Baltimore. Her resignation came shortly after the feds raided her home, city hall and her business partners.
Some of the issues are stemming from her time as mayor and her children's book, Health Holly.
The mayor is facing some serious allegations that could put her in federal time out for possible corruption.
Pugh is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Somehow, this scandal has gotten the community talking. Obviously one news reporter couldn't help herself from injecting her political views into the matter.
Mary Bubala is out of her job with the city's CBS affiliate, after asking last week if Baltimore's last three mayors were the wrong fit because of their race and gender.

The station's public affairs manager Susan Otradovec confirmed the news in an emailed statement to HuffPost. "Mary Bubala is no longer a WJZ-TV employee," the statement read. "The station apologizes to its viewers for her remarks."
About those remarks: Last Thursday, after Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh resigned, Bubala asked Loyola University Maryland professor Karsonya (Kaye) Wise Whitehead to comment on Pugh's resignation, in light of the resignation of a different mayor in 2010 who was also a black woman. Bubala couched her question in terms of race and gender.
Catherine Pugh is forced out of city hall. She is facing possible criminal indictment for using city funds to publish her books. |
"Two resigned, though," she said. "Is this a signal that a different kind of leadership is needed to move Baltimore City forward?"
The question sparked a firestorm on social media, where video of the interaction went viral.

However, the remarks were enough to fire her out of the cannon with WJZ-TV.
This is what conservatives think of Black women in leadership. Given that Donald J. Trump continues to exist as the leader of this country is quite funny.
You never hear this news agitator bring up Trump's legal woes being a part of a status quo.
She had to say "three Black women" running Baltimore. That's coded.
No one is perfect. If we all were perfect, we wouldn't be blessed with guilt, greed, sympathy, empathy and antipathy.
Maybe Sinclair Broadcasting Group will hire her. She fits right in their line of commentary and news programming.
