Conservative CNN pundit Mary Katharine Ham slammed her network for its blatantly biased coverage in a series of Twitter posts that went viral.
Ham, in response to criticism by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for saying that media coverage of the congressional baseball shooting was minimal.
“He’s arguing the shootings didn’t get much coverage? Pretty sure they were a huge story,” Haberman claimed.
She was wrong, and Ham pointed that out.
“I lived a block from the baseball field. Under 48 hours, the news vans were gone. I was on TV, live from the baseball field where they played the game a day later, after almost being canceled by mass murder, but my topic was ‘Mike Pence reportedly hired a lawyer,'” Ham tweeted. “You’re welcome to talk yourself into idea that a similar murder attempt on an entire team of Democrats would have gotten the same treatment. I think the shooting of Gabby Giffords is pretty analogous and disproves that theory. Even without that data point, it’s just not true.”
...
Ham was by no means done, either. “And it doesn’t mean Jan. 6 doesn’t deserve coverage. Moving on after 48 hrs would be wrong for that and for Gabby Giffords! But the coverage was what it was, Scalise’s return to Congress was very sparsely covered, and the anniversary was barely mentioned,” she continued. “I checked at the time, and it is real. News vans were staked out at the home of the parents of Elizabeth Lauten, the GOP staffer who criticized Obama’s daughters on Facebook that time, for longer than they were at the practice baseball field. That’s not just a news cycle issue.”
...
Is Ham playing with fire for so bluntly calling out her network? Will CNN .. letting her go?

If she was a conservative, she would not be on CNN.
Same with Amanda Carpenter, Ted Cruz’s girlfriend.
LOL!
Darrell Brooks killing 6 people and wounding 50 disappeared from the news within 5 days. Darrel did murder 6 people, and his intent was to murder as many white as humanly possible with the SUV. However his efforts were quickly reduced to the SUV accident to.....nothing. No one even remembers his racist attack and mass murder. This is how the press is
The congressional shootings were news, but not for long and there was no anniversary coverage. And there was no blame or trying to make it into a landmark event.
Haberman is a POS, as is the Slimes where she scribbles.
Darrell Brooks .. black moslem targeted a Christmas parade / Jihad on white Christians.
No wonder the media tried to ignore it.
James Hodgkinson, the Democratic activist and Bernie Sanders supporter drove from Illinois to shoot Republicans as they practiced for a baseball game .

The first sentence starts with a false premise.
‘If she was a conservative, she would not be on CNN.’
so if she were on Newmax, or OAN, it would be okay for us to listen to what she said, right...?
the content of the the rant doesn’t matter if we don’t like the network it comes from...?
‘The first sentence starts with a false premise.’
and...?
I do wonder how long it will be before Haberman (or anyone) who works at the NY Slimes will figure it out the way that Alex Berenson or that previous editor gal who resigned recently (her name escapes me at the moment) finally sorted it out. I think it was Berenson who wrote that he actually used to brag that he worked for the NYT, and that it’s an embarrassment to him now.
No true conservative (nor anyone with a functioning brain cell) would be caught dead working for CNN.
She is right.
They buried Hodgkinson’s shooting rampage faster than a dog can bury a bone.
BTW, has anyone else heard the rumor that American cities were burned and looted for six months or more without stop?
She will be riffed in the upcoming round of layoffs for sure.
It compromises anything that comes after. Happy now?
Bari Weiss. They both went to Substack.
That’s her! Thank you!
She was a regular on Fox News for years and years.
