Fox News dumps Maria Bartiromo
After 12 and a half years covering Wall Street for Fox News, the company has relieved Bartiromo of her post.
Fox Business Network has announced the departure of Maria Bartiromo after 12 ½ years at the network. The company issued a statement honoring Bartiromo for her work and wishing her well in her next chapter. Her shows, including Mornings With Maria, Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street, and Sunday Morning Futures, will undergo changes, with her former segments being rebranded under the Fox Business Network umbrella.
Bartiromo's abrupt departure comes after she was denied a final show or chance to say goodbye to viewers. The network's recent restructuring may have played a role in her exit. Bartiromo's ouster has been linked to her sharing of a company email with the President of the United States, which the network claims was an internal letter related to data center conspiracy theories.
She faced controversy earlier this year when she promoted false statements about Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic during defamation lawsuits. Despite these issues, Bartiromo remains notable for being the only Wall Street analyst to have inspired a Joey Ramone song.
