Former CNN president Jeff Zucker reportedly silently suspended conservative contributor Mary Katharine Ham for publicly criticizing the network’s embrace of legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin after he had been caught masturbating during a company Zoom meeting.
on Thursday, Mary Katharine Ham said that she learned of her quiet suspension in July of this year, roughly seven months after she mysteriously disappeared from the network following her public argument with fellow colleague Andrew Kaczynski. Though the argument centered on CNN’s treatment of the January 6 riot versus the congressional baseball shooting, she eventually hammered the company for welcoming Jeffrey Toobin back on air despite his offense.
According to Ham, she had no idea that CNN under Jeff Zucker’s leadership issued a quiet suspension against her until new leadership informed her. The suspension reportedly did not stem from her criticism of CNN’s coverage of the congressional baseball shooting or her public argument with a fellow colleague, but specifically from her comments about Toobin.
Well, everyone but me, who had no idea there was a breather in effect. I was never informed of my punishment until it was rescinded recently by new management. No one called me or my representation about it. There was no announcement of a suspension, or notification of in-house disciplinary action, which I would have preferred, even welcomed by comparison to serving a secret sentence.
