Fox News abruptly ousts Maria Bartiromo

Friday, September 04, 2026

Fox News has parted ways with longtime anchor Maria Bartiromo, one of President Donald Trump's closest allies at the network. Her ouster came as a shock to many, including the president, who wrote on Truth Social, "I can't believe Maria Bartiromo is no longer going to have her great show(s) on FoxNews/Business." The Fox News leadership team decided to remove Bartiromo in August, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The immediate impetus was Bartiromo's disclosure of confidential information to the Trump White House, the source told CNN. But there may have been other factors. In a sign that the split was contentious, Fox said Bartiromo's departure was "effective today," meaning she didn't have a chance to say goodbye or sign off on her own terms.

Did she chose to leave FoxNews, or did FoxNews choose to leave her?

Time will tell...

If she hits the bleach bottle she could be Lewzer's new Press Secretary.

Back in her CNBC days, she seemed to be quite popular with the Wall Street Crowd.

I have never understood that popularity.

Perhaps marrying a billionaire's kid right out of college had something to do with it?

Bartiromo came across to me as loud and sloppy, although mileages seem to vary because she was at Fox forever.

She also spewed lies on Fox Business that, mirrored on Fox News, led to a $787,000,000.00 payout to Dominion just three years ago.

She wanted to do a conspiracy piece on voting machines being hacked.

Fox remembering the $787 million they had to pay, said no.

She leaked the memo to the WHitehouse, because you know, Fox is completely non-partisan.

"Maria Bartiromo reportedly leaked sensitive information about Fox News weeks before her shocking exit on Thursday.

The star news anchor is said to have told the White House that Donald Trump's July primetime speech about the 2020 election received limited coverage because network bosses sent out guidance telling reporters to avoid giving credence to the President's claims, according to Status. "

Victor Frankenstein experienced some difficulties with his creation as well. Just saying.

Looks like Trump found his new White House press secretary.
