[UPDATE BELOW] In a rather terse statement [SEE HERE] Fox News has announced that Maria Bartiromo is no longer employed by the media network.
NEW YORK – September 3, 2026 — Effective today, Maria Bartiromo is no longer with FOX News Media.
In making the announcement, FOX News Media said, “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter.”
Maria Bartiromo became increasingly popular amid the MAGA base during the research and revelations surrounding the ‘Spygate’ and ‘Russiagate’ storyline. Bartiromo often had several guests on her Sunday Morning Futures program that highlighted evidence of the corruption in the DOJ, FBI and U.S Intelligence Community. However, it also became more visible that Bartiromo was navigating between sensitive topics that often ran counter to the professional republican class interests in Washington DC.
Over the past few years Bartiromo softened her focus toward corrupt endeavors and began staying away from the most controversial aspects of how the structures of government operate. In a time when nearly all U.S. institutional credibility has crumbled, Bartiromo found herself in that awkward spot where you try to act like you’re not noticing the moment in the show when the marionette strings become visible.
[…] “Bartiromo had fallen out of favor at Fox News due to the legal headaches caused by statements made on her programs. But the breaking point may have been her sharing of a company e-mail with President Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter. A Fox News representative did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Bartiromo, who was earning around $6 million a year, was anchor of the daily Fox Business Network program “Mornings with Maria,” which starting Friday will be called “Mornings with Fox Business.” Her weekend program “Sunday Morning Futures” will continue with fill-in hosts until a permanent replacement is named.” (source)
There is always that moment of choice, that time when your influence and affluence no longer run in alignment with uncomfortable truth. It’s a strange dynamic to watch unfold and even more strange when your proximity to the person gives you a different perspective than the average.
Bartiromo did as much as she could, until she couldn’t.
It will be interesting, or not, to see what comes next.
UPDATE: According to Dylan Byers:
NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar….
Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies… a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.
A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.
Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.
Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.
Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement.
Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February. (source)
I’m surprised she lasted as long as she did.
A plausible lie contains a few grains of truth. A public that hungers for those grains keeps coming back (to be spoon fed more lies than truths).
It’s like opening a few pressure valves to release steam that averts a larger explosion. And so far this strategy has been quite successful for the fake news globalists.
We may hear snippets about the treasonous attacks on our Constitutional Republic like election fraud, for example, but those revelations are rarely ever acted upon or resolved. Exhibit A: Our feckless, supposedly “Republican” majority CONgress refuses to address, no less remedy, the treasonous coup allegedly conducted by enemies both foreign and domestic.
Next White House press secretary?
I hope not.
Ditto. After what we’ve enjoyed the past two years, Maria, God bless her, would be a dim bulb indeed.
Why? What have I missed? A daily bloodbath in the WH press room would make my day.
This whole post is a reminder that Maria is completely fine with sitting there and not saying anything. She wouldn’t make a good press secretary because she wouldn’t fight, just like she hasn’t fought the last several years on Fox. We need some new blood. Maria is great and she could only do so much, I hope she ends up somewhere her talents are appreciated and she can do more of what she wants to do, I doubt that is fighting with the news media everyday in the press room.
Correct about Maria… Love her and understand her conundrum… but we need another loyal, “fire in the belly” type like we’ve enjoyed the past two years or Kaleigh M.
Actually the perfect one would be Marco Rubio, but he’s already got 12 other jobs… or Steven Miller….!
Alina Haba?????
Kaleigh M. is sitting on the couch at Fox.
Please! No more Kaleigh.
JD Vance today when asked about her departure from Fox: “Maria is a very good friend of mine”. I think you nailed it. She may be the perfect pick!
Maria made around $10 million annually working for FOX News.
WH press secretary pays peanuts. I don’t think Maria will work for peanuts, so you can forget your dream about Maria as WH press secretary.
Good.
Trump made $600 million annually working for himself and now works for zero, nada, nothing!
He makes plenty of money on his businesses and investments. Presidential pay is chicken feed compared to that.
I wouldn’t say that. With the government “persecutions” via Bragg, James, Willis, Smith, etc he’s actually PAYING to work for the people!!
Don’t look into the trump coin.
She’s married to an extremely wealthy guy so money isn’t all there is to her I would guess.
Maria is Italian, talked about the Italian Restaurant her family owned.
She has a family…sure she will be fine.
Does anyone want to listen to that accent all the time? No thanks.
Hey, I like the New York Italian accent! And it would go well with the other New York accent already in the White House! The New York real estate one!👍👍
Italian I like. But the whiny, nasal Brooklyn thing not so much.
Then again, if it was Marisa Tomei I would probably instantly become a hypocrite.
Me too, brother. Love Italian women. 😉
Not my “dream”, but the timing seems more than coincidental.
I’d pick Kari Lake, whose talents, and hardline immigration stance, are gonna be wasted as Ambassador to Jamaica.
Not sure why Trump parked her there. I could do that “job” in the time it takes to mow the lawn each week.
Kari Lake is denied any position of influence requiring (RINO) Senate confirmation. So yes, she’s parked until the ThuneCo obstruction can be removed. Why not Jamaica? Nice appointment for a consistent MAGA supporter.
Ambassadors need Senate Approval. Press Secretaries don’t need Senate approval.
Not so sure she’d make a good Press Secretary, but Thune gets no say.
Right! Hadn’t thought of that one!
Depends on what she did with all that money and whether or not there is another opportunity for her to make similar funds.
If she has invested sagely, she can afford to take a govt salary for a while. She could afford to retire.
But maybe something good opens up now.
Worst case would be living paycheck to paycheck. That would put her in a tight spot unless something good opens up.
Her husband is the son of a billionaire and he makes millions himself as CEO of an investment firm.
“Next White House press secretary?”
That’s a firm no.
Karoline Leavitt as Press Secretary is going to be a tough act to follow. Primarily because having Karoline Leavitt as Press Secretary wasn’t an act.
I have not watched Fox News since November 2020.
She was on Fox Business, which is a lot less “cringy” than Fox News.
I made the decision after they called AZ. Called to cancel the satellite service first thing the next morning.
Watching Fox News actually makes the viewer dumber, dangerous, and less informed. Fox news is purely establishment propaganda tailored to appeal to people that lean right.
It’s news for, primarily but not limited to, aged 55+ retarded republicans that vote and support the wrong way in republican primaries.
Exactly. Same here.
They always show you who they are!
I remember I had to hold a long time waiting in the queue. A lot of people were calling doing the same thing.
When they asked the reason for my cancellation, I told them I can’t in good conscience allow Fox News to get any money from me regardless how miniscule it may be and the person said they were hearing complaints about Fox News all morning and they were all cancelling everything.
Me too! I used slightly courser words though.
You mean you don’t miss Hannity repeating things 20 times and telling you how great he is?
Hannity is a Black Belt.
Perhaps, you were unaware.
lol.
It’s conservative CNN.
It’s not conservative. It’s UniParty.
🎯
In some circles it’s referred to as controlled opposition.
#batteredconservativesyndrome
Couldn’t agree more, Sunshine
I can’t remember the last time I watched TV.
However, recently I was stuck at the auto shop for two hours with nothing but golf magazines and crappy phone service.
I watched the news station on the TV, I can’t even recall what it was but I was shocked that people can sit there like zombies and stare at the screen, I couldn’t do it.
I think people are dumber just for watching TV in general.. I suppose if you want to zone out it’s okay but sheesh, life is short, get busy!
That’s why they used to call it the boob tube.
Still do.
Also known as “The Groove Tube”. The opening sequence depicts what I consider the average American who still watches this shit.
When I wrote “this shit” I meant TV or more specifically Fox Schmooze!
The Groove Tube is hilarious.
We watch the game show network at work. Initially, it was just to keep people from fighting if there were political news on. But now I realize, even with the woke Jeopardy questions and stupidity, will you still learn a lot and it keeps our minds sharp.
But I work in healthcare, so it’s as much of an art as a science.
Sadly, stopped watching Jeopardy!.
Got weary of their Kamel Harris and
“woke” clues and answers.
Perfect summation of the general public although I believe many are finally seeing the bulbs light up in their
governmentally psyoped brains.
Have not had a television in my home now for over 27:years don’t miss it not one bit
You mean 55> retahded republicans that can’t discern fact from fiction and don’t mind having a $30 trillion deficit
Uhhh…$40 trillion.
Indeed
Same here.
The broad brush gets the most votes, eh?
All news all the time is a psyop. Exactly why did it take you so long to figure that out smarty pants.
I kept them around for live events, for example: election coverage, Trump rallies.
After they called AZ, that is when I decided I couldn’t allow them to get my money anymore. The election was obviously stolen and FNC could have gone wall to wall to expose it and possibly reverse it but instead, they broadcast their own treason.
…and then were sued, other things happened that we were not privy to, and
voila’!! They had a massive settlement
–because someone said something true!
All to convince the American public that the *truth* was, somehow, not true.
I remember Sundance had exposed that one. Most people don’t pick up on such nuances. They just assume that faux news tried to stand in the breach.
Heck, half the time I can’t keep up with Sundance, and I’m *trying* to follow all of these stories. I can only imagine how many rabbit holes John Q Public has fallen into without a lifeline.
The twenty-four hour scrolling news ticker was first adopted by FoxNews on the morning of September 11, 2001.
Since that inflection point all major cable news networks have kept a persistent doom scroll constantly informing us how the world is ending today.
For a quarter of a century Americans have been subjected to a constant bombardment of catastrophe porn and political rage-baiting. The Media benefits when the People are depressed and divided.
Rude.
Fox is Controlled Opposition. They want us believing in the establishment. They want to show enough to keep us angry, but not angry enough to take the next steps.
Perfect description! That is my SIL. I can have conversations w/her thinking she is “in the know” and then I get frustrated when I realize she doesn’t get it. She comes home every day from work plops down on the couch and watches FOX til bedtime.
My ex still watches FNC. She is convinced she is ‘in the know.’.’
We watched when they first started and our kids were in middle/high school.
I quit in 2020; we divorced in 2022.
People change….some for the better….like you. Condolences to your ex……..NOT!

I have a brother that resembles those remarks…
Not just Fox. All of them.
Here:
Enjoy the Show! by Tore Says
Hey now.. I resemble that remark … give my channel changer a good workout everyday.. Never found a need to pay for cable either..
The Old & Slows
Bush Republicans seem to be running Fox….not MAGA at all.
As a non-retarded 63 year old I’m with ya, sister.
Well that was harsh. I quit for the same reason but to label people retarded is not necessary.
sure it is. always necessary to speak the truth.
Don’t care. Not patronizing Fox.
No actually it is FOXNEWS 2.0. Besides the Redhead at market close, it’s the same crap.
CNBC still has far more market reporting throughout each trading day. And you don’t have to see Charlie Gasbagorino. Most of their anchors are dyed in the wool commies. But at least it’s about the market.
be nice if everyone that cares for the country could say the same, Tom
watching zero tell-a-lie-vision in well over 10 years has set me free
1998 for me.
That 2020 election night was the Fox News death knell to me. Buh Bye, Fox!!
“..fair, balanced and sometimes afraid”
I haven’t had a television since 2010. None of these people have any influence in/on my life. If the electronic world went dark today we’d all live in a better place.
Yep.
I literally have not actually watched television in 23 years. I briefly, for maybe a week checked it out roughly 12 years ago. My mind was blown by how almost comically stupid and vapid it was.
I’ve been zero legacy media for about 10 years.
Ditto.
Me neither.
Maria covered the border invasion while others were mum.
very appropriate!
Enjoyed Santana back in the day…bill
Dude….That is sooo good…..somehow got under my radar and this is the 1st time seeing/hearing this…..I grew up on Santana…..starting with Woodstock……
it took 50 years to learn why Dorian mode seemed SOOO familiar when I “discovered” it….. Thank You Carlos for climbing down from Olympus for us.
I’m disappointed. On balance she was very good.
Wonder what that email she allegedly shared with Trump said? A good guess was a directive to either stop defending him, and/or to be more critical of him.
i can see that tool Paul Ryan behind this.
Anyone who shares an internal workplace email with outside people deserves to get fired.
Maybe that was her intent?
In your world does that extend to government whistle blowers?
Yes. The whistleblower protection statutes have been twisted and abused so much that they are meaningless.
In “my world,” the whistleblower gets fired for “blowing the whistle.”
The whistleblower sues in court for damages and airs his grievances publicly. A court of law adjudicates the whole affair.
Getting fired can offer damage settlements, when quitting on your own does not.
“Anyone who shares an internal workplace email with outside people deserves to get fired.”
What if the internal memo documents the internal workplace corruption?
Corrupt government officials do it all the time with their media buddies.
They never seem to get fired, their media buddies run the lies and attack anyone who tries to prove the lies are lies, and never acknowledge when the liars are proven to be liars.
And, notably…….the media never burns their lying sources in government who never get fired. They just continue to run more false stories for them.
If Maria showed President Trump documentation from Fox that they were out to “get” Trump in some way, I can see her being fired for telling the truth.
It ain’t right, but I can see it happening.
She has now proven she is a rat. Don’t let her into the administration.
.
Have you read the update?
Who was she ratting out?
It’s always “according to a person familiar with the matter”. Could be a dozen people from GOP transparently anti-Trump, and Congressional critters; down to 2028 presidential wannabes and contenders.
This Congress is no different than Paul Ryan’s Congress but Thune has taken his part this time.
Obviously she got the talk by the upper heads on what to say on the air. Fox finally saw the opportunity to cut her loose. She may have been walking a fine line for some time now.
She will thrive in an environment that lets her be herself. She is a New Yawker so that holds prominence. She may be headed south.
Maria has proven her fiscally responsible and conservative leanings. I’m sure at some point she got “the talk” and started walking that line where the cop tells you to just “put one toe to one heel”.
I think she navigated that until, as Sundance says, she couldn’t. I enjoyed her on Mornings as well as the Sunday show.
I enjoy watching Sheryl Attkinson’s show and have no doubt that some brave platform will give her an even bigger voice.
And…didn’t the Ramones have a song “Maria Bartiromo”!
I’m sure she’ll get by somehow. I hope she stays aligned more with the Elizabeth Nickson crowd and less with the Tucker/Candice crowd.
I hope to Heaven she gets by with her nest egg.
“It will be interesting, or not, to see what comes next.”
My vote is “not.”
Similar to the Lou Dobbs parting ways,,,,
Now that you mention it, Newbie, yeah.
The best to you, Maria.
Disappointed. She’s the only one I occasionally tuned in to.
My guess is she’ll be part of the Ellison/Paramount media.
The lawfare by Democrats against Ellison/Paramount is only to “protect” CNN from those dastardly conservatives in order to continue Democrat propaganda. Maria could do a lot of damage if the merger goes through. Interesting.
Something brewing before/during/after the midterms. Like another round of dubious results.
I’m not worried about her. She will land on her feet and be better than ever, without the restrictions. I am a recovering Foxaholic and I have been purged and cleansed. I’m looking forward to her next chapter!
Press Secretary
or Special Assistant to the President.
She is a rat.
So not a fan of Snowden or Assange?
Not going to upvote you leo but I did hear she was one of those WEF wunderkids in the past.
I can imagine that Maria wasn’t that easy to control, she likely pushed back and argued a lot and did her thing.
That got old with the Boss Men I’m sure.
Howie Carr tonight wondered if she’s going to be the new Press Secretary.
To: Fox News
From: Maria Bartiromo
Please be advised that I hereby tender my resignation from Fox News, effective immediately. I was recently contacted by the White House regarding the position of Press Secretary to President Trump, and was honored to accept the position. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PS: Trump won Arizona in 2020!
LOL 😉
And the Dominion lawsuit / settlement story is wholly fabricated. You know it and I know it. Do with that what you will. I am not suicidal.
Yes. Please see my comment in this thread, with a link to a Substack I wrote in 2023 with that very premise.
.
Better position for Maria:
Chief of Staff
Suzie has too much crud up her nose . . .
NO.
A CoS needs to have street cred with Congress so he can twist arms for domestic legislation.
Wiles is such a bad CoS with bad judgement (e.g. Bondi).
I guess she should go out and found her own Wall Street investment firm.
IMO, Bartiromo may have become a little “too good” at what she did and/or had wandered “too far” off the leftward-drifting Murdoch Reservation that is today’s Fox News Channel — complete with all its leftist English tentacles and sycophantic, yes-men and women talking heads …
Next stop for the lady ?? Unless there’s some contractual prohibition … or retirement … ??? … Newsmax perhaps … ??? They could certainly use it …
I sometimes wonder who’s next up in the Fox on-deck batter circle to move along … ?? Gutfeld … ??? Gutfeld … ??? Bueller … ??? Bueller … ???
Gutfeld is my guilty pleasure. The right guests and the right topics… 😂😂😂😂😂
Me too … and as a “famous pol” once said while biing his lip for effect: “I FEEL YOUR PAIN” … !!!
Joey Ramone wants to know!
“I watch her at the big board every single day, While she’s reporting you best stay out of her way; I watch her every day
I watch her every night
She’s really outta sight
Maria Bartiromo
Maria Bartiromo
Maria Bartiromo”
Bye, Felicia!

To many puppets from FNC have been placed in 2016 and 2024 that never should have been.
Fox always gets rid of their hosts when they’re telling just a little bit too much truth. Lou Dobbs comes to mind. Even Tucker to an extent, he’s completely off the reservation now but when he left Fox he was doing a lot of good work. Even, to her credit, wayyyyy back in the day Megan Kelly would get a little bit unsafe on some of her shows so she had to go.
Fox likes when you go a little bit but doesn’t like when you say the truth in public too much. Next guy they’ll go after is Jesse Waters if they haven’t already, I haven’t watched Fox in at least 6 years.
She is the only show I watched on Fox Business. It was probably Paul Ryan who had her removed. War monger and Big Pharma whore.
I used to watch Stuart Varney, but ever since we are at war with Iran, he has to state how high gas prices are. Never did he ever talk about gas prices being so high during the Biden administration.
I see it the same way.
Maria did as much as she could until she couldn’t.
I hope in her next endeavor she can speak freely and truthfully without walking on the razor’s edge.
They can’t have anyone truely credible at Fox News. After all it is a Murdoch enterprise.
I was a regular listener to her shows on SiriusXM. I’ll miss her.
They are saying that she shared an email/text about a story regarding the 2020 election and Chyna. Her producers were told to not air it. She supposedly shared the message with the Whitehouse, who then called Fox. She just hired a bit time lawyer too.
Someone from the Whitehouse ratted on her to Fox executives?
Now who can that be?
Her last name starts with W and ends in iles
Starts with W and ends with lies.
Screeching Maria. No worries, they never go away….
Fox News is still on the air?
Who knew??? I haven’t watched in over a decade and I sleep much better for it.
She had been a work in progress. Not with us MAGA but having enough gut to keep looking for the real picture. Sundance once wrote she might come around and she did. One of my favorite, if not only journalist I listen to when I could.
Actually, when I look at “ANOTHER(!) very well-known public face,” I wonder if he faced – and is still facing – the same pressure, but has responded differently.
As to Maria: “Thank you for your service.” I mean that.
As to him? I purposely reserve comment.

I am surprised FOX would put that “guidance” in writing!
Fox: a news organization whose news policy is …secret.
(News policy which turns out to be: “we shall defeat the unhinged delusions of the Far Right (of Stalin) by …censoring them.)
Reporting is treason! (Betraying a reporter, OTOH, is just common decent good sense.)
Vannity emails the POTUS, he has said so many times because he wants people to know he has President Trump’s ear, I can’t believe they aren’t somehow FOX related, why doesn’t he get an all the best good-bye?
The updated info exposes FOX as corrupt.
To preemptively kill an investigation before knowing what, if anything, tne investigation might reveal illuminates the rotten soul of FOX.
All motivated by TDS. Paul Ryan is the key person here.
Maria was always a very good business reporter on CNBC.
Which all goes to prove that FOX NEWS is no different than CNN or the rest of them.
most of their website content and cable news content is nothing more than clickbait. It’s a low-IQ pile of distractions for low information fake conservatives who mostly don’t even bother to vote. They can get stuffed.
Anyone on Fox is not just suspect but guilty. If you take the King’s coin you have to do the King’s bidding.
Given that Lachlan Murdoch is the key controller of Fox Corp. I’m not the least surprised that Maria wasn’t able to air her China/2020 election story…Too much truth probably there… Might just as well have George Soros’s son runnung Fox…Maria was about the only one I watched from Fox. In the end, not so much…I deleted Fox short cuts a long time ago.
We liked her.
When she started a line of questioning, she did not let go. Guests would try to go on about other topics, and she would bring them right bac.
She might actually be a true journalist. Her news story she was told no on per the report sounded investigative.
Paul Ryan a thorn always has been.
GOD BLESS MARIA, THE FINAL NAIL IN THE FOX NEWS COFFIN.
Interesting update. Sounds very believable to me.
She is digging where her shovel may not go….according to her minders.
Trouble is they put it in writing and now the food guys have a copy of it.
Since Susie Wiles is battling health issues, this would be a good time for her to step down to be replaced by Bartiromo.
She’ll probably go to News Max.
I’d watch Fox News again if they would tar and feather Eddie Munster on live TV.
FOX flicked Carlson. Where is his head now. If only Paul Ryan could see the future he would have kept him.
Trump went on national TV and addressed the nation on vote fraud. His main point was China and a few other countries did it. Nothing in terms of proof has been provided and this could just be another “weapons of mass destruction” pile of lies told to the President (likely is).
The 2020 Steal happened in the open, but the keystone cops can’t figure it out, so blame China? Not defending Fox, but they already had their tits pretty deep in the wringer already with lawsuits. You can’t blame them for backing away.
The President owes the country more details if this is how he explains the 2020 Steal. I don’t believe it one bit. China may have played a roles as did others, but the 2020 Steal was 100% a US government run and protected operation (to this day protected by the FBI and DOJ). Ditto for Antifa and BLM and a bunch of other assholes. Yes, our own government is that wicked.
Remember Trump saying “I caught the swamp, I caught them all : let’s see what happens…”?
I do. Many videos available. Well, let’s see what happens. Trump knows something he hasn’t provided evidence of yet. Hasn’t needed to. I’m sure he will when the time is right.
He seems to be playing the long game. Not typical of most politicians.
Outside of 4547’s inner circle, no one knows what info he has, what he’s up against, the stress he and his entire extended family are under, and what he’s going to do. My personal theory is that he and his family have been seriously threatened by the globalists and must be walking a very fine line. They’ve already tried to kill him two or three times that the public knows about. How many attempts have been unsuccessful? Six? Twelve? Twenty? More? We will never know. Give the Monday morning quarterbacking a rest.
