[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)
Wonder if it was Paul Ryan that sent the email to her….. he’s a weasel!
Remember when everyone thought he was a rock ribbed conservative many years ago?
Guilty here. Boy, was I a chump! I think a lot of people are finally starting to wake up to these RINO weasels. They are worse than the DemoCommies!
I’ve got some great “crow” recipe’s…
Got some, I wrote some
we’ve all been through this struggle.
Which is why I was drawn to the last refuge.
Here you see, we don’t blame ourselves for the failure of our trust in those who pretend to matter.
We blame them for not being honest and truthful.
this has revelation has made be understand so many things that my former self could never properly reconcile
God Bless America
We trusted. We verified, and we found them not worthy of our trust. It takes courage to admit we were wrong about the GOP establishment, thinking they were here to help promote conservative causes.
The Wisconson Weasel. He lost a debate to Banana Joe.
I was one of those suckers. Living in Wisconsin I was pleased when Ryan got elected. His whole persona was a good Catholic hometown boy, who loved his parents and was a no nonsense conservative And to top it off, a deer hunter! I’m embarrassed how easily I was fooled.
All that is similar to how Thune painted himself early in his political career. He sure did change once he became one of McConnell’s gnomes.
“Yung Gunz” don’t cha know!
No. Many of us, including the host of this blog thought that he was a weasel from the beginning of Trump’s first term .
We never did, he a cheap bought paid 2dollar hoe
Yeah…..thought that about Trey Gowdy too!
All fricking fake, actors and frauds!
They disgust me! And I’ve been that way with Gowdy ever since he left Congress because of all his big words and statements without a damn bit of action!
With his Eddie Munster hair. Hard to believe he was on a R Presidential ticket that actually could have won if elections weren’t rigged and Mittens wasn’t taken down (or took a dive) by Give Me More Candy Crowley.
I realised Ryan was a useless cuck when he lost a debate to Biden. No one with a spine could ever lose a debate against Mr Potato Head.
He won. He got the result he wanted.
I watched that debate and thought Ryan deliberately lost. He was much smarter and more well informed than Biden ever could be yet he backed off and acted very unlike himself. I still think he and Mitt were told not to try and win even when they had the momentum and the people starting to really turn on the Obama administration. I felt the same way about McCain and Palin. Obama was the one they all wanted installed both times and he was.
Obama was not my choice for President. I thought he was basically an empty suit when he first appeared on the presidential scene. But McCain was a terrible choice, and I did not vote for him in the primary.
Paulie Numnuts Ryano.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah. That debate was a beat down. I guess Biden hadn’t started losing his marbles at the time.
Ryan took a dive. It was obvious.
Ryan is a board member. He doesn’t have an operational function.
Then the other weasel – Murdock junior – another with TDS
Yes a two faced one
In Wisconsin he is known as The Shitweasel with no disrespect to weasels.
I wandered about going to the WH?
Press Secretary.
🙏 🙏
Quite a pay reduction! If she was making 6 mil at FOX. The POTUS Press Secretary makes, what, maybe 150k?
Yeah, she’ll write a book and do some guest slots on other competing networks. She seemed like she’d be smart with her money, so her and even her grandkids should have nothing to worry about for their entire lives.
It is estimated she is worth close to 50 million on her own, while her husband has many times that amount.
She can afford the smaller paycheck, unless she’s dumber than a box of rocks about fjnances.
You wandered about the White House – meaning you stumbled around the grounds?
OR
You wondered about the White House?
🤣
Joe is that you?
It doesn’t really matter.
MSM tv is still as corrupt as they can be. Maria is a top class person and was correct to NOT put up with the MSM lying nonsense. They are not a viable “news” org. They are a propaganda machine.

Fox has been on my SchiffT LIST for some time, now they aren’t even on any list!
haven’t looked since they took part in the 2020 election coup.
they’ll be announcing the winner of the 2028 presidential before the end of this year
Yes, Sandra Smiths open mic “ but we already called that”.
I was done with Fox then. Do miss looking at the good looking Bill Hemmer though.
I am puzzled by this “calling and election” thing.
Is it like deciding the winner before the votes are counted?
I realise that can take a while in America.
He is as nice as he is handsome. Know him and his parents for years.
Right! When i saw Donna Brazil on election night, i changed the channel and never went back
I’d prefer watching Bobo Brazil (wrestler) than Donna any day!
Appoint Maria White House Press Secretary!
Maybe new press secretary?
Maybe not so much her years under Murdoch’s thumb, but it is possible that whatever she does or does not do AFTER this will define her life in the eyes of God and her fellow countrymen.
Can’t get that red dress out of my mind!
Kelly LeBrock. Right up there with Farrah Fawcett.
That was the last great event of the WH Correspondents Assn dinner.
It was the white gloves
Globohomo, America Last Fox News doesn’t just hide news and lie about news… it’s an active participant in stealing elections and overthrowing elected gov’t officials.
Treason. Criminal investigations for all senior management and board members.
Grubby shystergrubers running msm.
“… it’s an active participant in stealing elections and overthrowing elected [conservative] gov’t officials.”
Why else would Fox write a check to Dominion for $787 million without a fight?
EXCLUSIVE: Key Questions Surrounding the FOX News Settlement with Dominion Voting Machines * The Gateway Pundit * by Joe Hoft
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Exactly.
They’ve maintained a false image by retaining hosts like Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters.
But they have too many hosts willing to spread false RINO-based narratives.
No red pilled Treeper should be watching Fox since Nov 2020.
Funny you mention “America Last Fox News.”
Here in our rural small town in Libtard Oregon our local radio station broadcasts a “Fox News Update” every 1/2 hour on the hour and 9 times out of 10 the slanted TDS propaganda they spew as “truth” just amazes me.
They really are just as bad as the rest of the MSM.
The men behind the curtain decided Maria should leave The Make Believe Land of OZ.
The men behind the curtain also fired Lou Dobbs for reporting on the stolen election.
Bad things don’t happen to you for lying to the viewers, bad things happen to you for telling the truth.
— Fox News Code of Conduct, Page 1.
They also fired Trish Regan for being pro-Trump. Wonder if their next body will be Larry Kudlow.
Maria dialed it back the last few years. Our daughter interned for Fox one summer…was instructed not to pop in on Lou & tell him her parents loved him…
I hate when vague terms are utilized to represent mal intent. The Fox executive, who was this clown? I want names and photo. The ONLY way we stop nonsense from clowns is to put names and photos to the stories. Vagueness is a form of veil so as to not hold accountable a clownish act.
For those of you who don’t know, there are two types of people in this world: those with conviction and a spine and clowns.
Clowns are slaves to the audience and will do anything for applause. People with conviction will take the boos and won’t flinch.
Most politicians are clowns.
Murdoch signs the paychecks at Fox. Conviction is tolerated only to a point.
Maria is one of their best interviewers. Can’t say much and always grab the remote when Sandra Smith and that goodie two-shoes lady who replaced Tony Snow’s old show on Sunday mornings. And, the whiny-voiced, tall girl on The Fiver…, puleeze!
Just call the MSM TV the PHARMA NETWORK. The people’s prescriptions keep them enriched with all their ads!!!
There are a lot of smallish news outlets now like Newsmax, Maria would bring a lot of viewers over there, she does have a fan base.
She’d bring a lot to a place like that, I hope she does something like this.
She could really help us a lot to sink the MSM if she wanted to do that, I hope that is her plan..
I’m sure she’ll get many job offers..
Lou Dobbs
Tucker Carlson (for running the J6 video)
Maria Bartiromo
I’ve long thought that Fox / the Murdochs were players in both:
a) The deliberate throwing of the 2018 midterms, which set the stage for impeaching / removing President Trump (note that subsequent to said midterms Paul Ryan received a lucrative golden-parachute with Fox); and
b) The 2020 election steal / coup d’etat … and its subsequent coverup.
Along those lines, also the possibility that the Dominion lawsuit was actually a collusive suit between Dominion and Fox. I wrote about that in some detail in a Substack in 2023 (link below / it’s not paywalled):
Are the Dominion Voting Systems Lawsuits “Against” Fox News and Newsmax Actually “Collusive Suits?”
https://tomwigand.substack.com/p/are-the-dominion-voting-systems-lawsuits?utm_source=publication-search
Correct on all counts.
As Brig. Gen. (ret) Blaine Holt warned in a podcast posted today, Be very slow to make up your mind on media and podcast figures. Some who’ve remained MAGA-loyal… aren’t. And some who’ve turned against Trump… didn’t.
Nothing requires us to hold an opinion on so many things right now. Observe, read CTH, connect dots–but use a pencil, ’cause we have no idea how many of the dots we don’t know about yet. Safest action to take is prayer to God–who does know.
Late July or Early August Marie had Lankford (Rino OK ) on and she hit him hard about Save America Vote. You could sense his anger by the end , have to wonder if He and Thune were not another straw on this back.
Please, let’s not capitalize beginning letters of pronouns for Langford . 😗
It’s called, “Television Programming” for a reason!
She bucked the program.
New Press Secretary?
Shame on FOX for capitulating to Dominion and Smartmatic like sex slaves to their masters.
Maria Bartiromo is a tough Italian mamma who did what she could.
Started watching Maria early on when she was still referred to as the “Money Honey” on CNBC
First time to NYC went down to NYSE to see the ‘Money Honey’ from the visitors gallery. Also loved Malcolm Forbes free museum on 5th Avenue office w the Faberge Eggs and toy steamboats – 80s were heaven on Earth…
I don’t watch Fox news, but I would every now and again turn to Maria’s show on Fox Business. I noticed a few months ago when I would tune into Maria’s show Cheryl the Taylor Swift giddy fan woman was hosting. I turned the channel.
Maria will do just fine without being an employee of the FOX brand.
Maria Bartiromo is too much in the sunlight for the lamestream media.
She will do valiantly.
Cue, Maria in a suit of armor wielding a broadsword, with the Murdoch team as the opponents. Beats suspicious cat. !!
When Ailes left and the Murdoch sons Lefty wives and Paul (R.I.N.O.) Ryan took over, FNC
ceased to be a reliable, conservative source. One must be very selective about their presenters.
The R.I.N.O.’s are the worst. At least with the Democrats, you can tell who the enemy is…
She had the first large media interview with PDJT after he left office in January, 2020. There were hard parameters for what he would be allowed to talk about, questioning the result was verboten, though he could dance around outright calling it stolen. It was mostly typical Trump braggadocio about his presidency we’re used to, but that wasn’t the reason he was allowed on. She zeroed in on the OWS “vaccine” with lots of flattery for his “life-saving accomplishment” led him into telling everyone they should take it.
That was the real and only reason Fox out him on. And she played her role, that she was paid to play: get him to talk up taking that monstrosity to “skeptics” they thought he could influence. And he performed as expected, the flattery and ego-stroking worked.
Maybe it was a mutual use situation. But Fox figured they got the better end of that bargain. And every subsequent appearance right up until primary season in 2023 was the same exact pattern, he talks up “vaccines” while he danced around the stolen election, filled with braggadocio.
He was played. And she played her role in playing him.
It pains me, to say, … having almost seen contemporaneously, then witnessed: hours, days, weeks, … with and to learn “who / which ones” would not be returning (and knowing others “who did” and “who did not answer the call”).
.
I remember the silence and “unbelievable”, calm, silence, … total lack of aggressiveness (road rage) “driving” and then ” home” on Long Island that afternoon, … after so many had simply not stayed or come to work “even late”.
.
Maria, reporting from an empty NYSE Floor, was a “caricature” of “youthful, invincibility” (one must know how many of the “wall street”, “big swinging Di*ks” and “peons” ran, only thinking of themselves, … Sadly, she has become just another “owned, ‘talk’n head, whore'”.
.
I expect this Nation will survive, but there is yet to be WWIII (and very likely IV & V).

Looks like a cut and paste accusation.

Bartiromo was a source of much Q food.
She has since been replaced by John Solomon as the source of their hopium.
I miss the tick tock with Nunes and Ratcliffe.
The brief (chain) exchanges above convinced me CTH has no understanding of “9/11”, has lost its (if it ever had) focus and (if so) out lived its purpose, and will be increasingly know as a certain source of “manipulative, regurgitated, re-imagined history”.
.
“Deputy”, I made no mention of nor suggested “Q” (you need constant supervision, and training …) …
.
“Wynn Chester” and “John Chisum” “bots” should be blocked.
.
Warning to other readers: Do Not Fund CTH. … Diversify your sources of information.
Oh, be gone before someone drops a house on you.
If you believe this, then why are you still here?
the breaking point may have been her sharing of a company e-mail with President Trump,
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.
Q. Who called Fox from the White House? Trump?
Firing would have been an expected consequence. Too many lawsuits targeting her/Fox. She had become a liability, She was on thin ice. She had a choice. Screenshot. Fox chose to cut bait & fire here. Wonder what Trump’s choices are? Press secretary would be a step down, imo. That’s an extrance level job & she’s beyond that.
Susie Wiles called Fox
Thx. stands to reason but i haven’t seen any credit.
May probably start her own *Podcast*… seems that’s the next step for most — just sayin.
This is a photo Sundance posted 12 years ago. It was the nature of Fox and the GOP then. Its the nature of Fox and the GOP now.
Trump has changed everything. Nothing has changed at Fox.
Well said.
Fox guarding the GOP-house.
She was the only show I watch on Sunday morning. You could always tell Maria wanted to tell the truth. Fox News is losing all of its credibility as fake opposition.
The GOP establishment aided the Democrat 2020 election fraud. The top leaders were involved up to their eyeballs because they wanted Trump gone because their big donors want the globalist agenda. They have to suppress all efforts to bring the 2020 fraud to light.
maria Bartiromo could be very Good WH press secretary,
Always wondered how long she would last in that den of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Anyone here remember the 2016 Al Smith dinner and the red dress Maria wore? The teasing on her show and Varney the next morning was hilarious.
Suspicious Cat gets two appearances in the same article !!
I’m curious who was the executive who said shut down the story? That would explain quite a bit…
Interesting indeed. As for press sec, I doubt it. For as much as she was willing to go against the deep-state narratives on her shows, she’s also been interviewed herself and when asked about Trump’s tariffs has responded that she does not like tariffs.
Being reported that she has hired legal heavyweight, Bryan Freedman. Freedman previously represented Tucker Carlson in his high-profile legal battle with the network and Justin Baldoni in his legal battle with Blake Lively, along with Megyn Kelly, Chris Cuomo, and even … Don Lee Mon!

Maria Bartoromo’s morning show and her Sunday Morning Futures were the only Fox News sbows I watched. Good bye Fox News, as the old saying we used in the 1960’s when departng never knowing if we were ever going to to see that person again, “later, it’s been real.”
Where Maria lands ; so will the spirit of Maria. DJT should go to the ends of the earth to clear a path for her. Truth in news. Godspeed Maria.
Fox got caught raiding the hen house. Hens are safe.
I’m not as passionate as the rest of you about her dismissal from Fox. I was always suspicious of her stemming largely from her association with the Clinton Global Initiative so I purposefully did not watch her. I don’t think it would be wise to have her inside the Trump White House.
I hope Maria , ends up at the treehouse!!!
if that’s true. WH calls fox and tells all.
THEN WE HAVE A RAT IN THE WHITEHOUSE.
OR A VERY STUPID EMBECILE.
often we mistake stupidity for malevalance. But it’s worth noting, the results are nearly the same because in either case, the wrong person is ALLOWED POWER THEY DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND.
who picks up the flag?
God Bless America
My bet is on Wiles being the rat in the White House.
Whether or not she decides to do it, Bartiromo now has the option of beginning her own podcast, no longer encumbered by the dictates of Fox News. She certainly has the contacts and prestige to be successful in that endeavor….and might be an interesting counterbalance to the choices that Tucker Carlson made, once he was independent.
Also convenient that she was shut down before the big swing into the mid-terms.
The clique of RINOs and also the globalists (Murdoch himself?) can’t allow scrutiny of their meddling in the 2020 election. If Murdoch would not have settled with Smartmatic it is possible that discovery would have proven the fraud. Fox called the phony election in AZ early and then played defender of Trump. You can’t have it both ways. Why these weasels think they can restore their congressional GAME for GAIN is ludicrous. The DSA is out for blood and the power hungry, feeble-minded Democrat old guard is deceiving itself.
🚨 Socialism always brings bloodshed 🚨
ALWAYS …
(Scandinavia is NOT SOCIALIST. It is capitalistic with social welfare).
While Fox is the only source for supporting MAGA on TV , it stays away from getting to close to it . When interviewing Thune , he gets away with it by saying he doesn’t have the votes . No followup . suddenly , Paul Ryan shows up on CNBC.
The reality is our government and our elected officials do not care about the American people . They think MAGA will go away .
Mitchie has not been seen in almost 90 days . No mass media saya thing . Independent journalists try to do the heavy lifting but are really just shouting into the darkness .
We cannot vote our way out !
Maria was known to have ties to some of the establishment. I never trusted her. I hope Trump doesn’t pick her as the new press secretary.
It is tough to be clear eyed in a foggy eye enforced world.
The ONLY show I ever watched on FNC was “Sunday Morning Futures”. Those days are behind me. They are dead to now.
If I ever met Maria, I would ask her why she is not just a member but is on the board of directors of the most powerful globalist organization in America for the last 100+ years: The Council on Foreign Relations!
She would make a great Press Secretary to replace Karoline Leavitt!
What is it with Kentucky I’ve been watching this for decades I can’t figure it out what is it deep State Central?
And look…….the infamous ex Federal prosecutor that was going to stop all of this and was on top of it……good old compromised and establishment rat and owned Trey Gowdy!
FOX NEWS is a fricking joke!
And hopefully soon all conservatives who still think and believe this rotten network is on the side of US….WE THE PEOPLE……..will wake up and shut them off once and forever…….
BOYCOTT THE ROTT!
The biggest source of frustration among the enemy within is their inability to “memory-hole” the stolen ’20 election
They know we watch them like hawks, nary a day passes without new evidence surfacing & they can’t do it on such a big scale again unless we forget
We won’t 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
