Maria Bartiromo out at Fox News
FYI: Smartmatic is still actively suing Maria Bartiromo (along with Fox Corporation, Fox News Network, the estate of Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and others) in its $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit over 2020 election lies. I wonder if they’re getting ready to settle? lawcompensate.com/fox-news-law...
Rupert Murdoch International Tribunal 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇹🇫🇷🇩🇪22🎼"How do you solve a problem like Maria?"
LannaMick16Been thinking about this for a while now, the best way to stop fake news sites like FAUX 'news' spreading lies and disinformation is if the people working on these shows are the ones sued, as well as the network. They would be careful about what they said then.....
Good Trouble12Ah! I forgot about that. Or maybe she’s gonna to replace Leavitt? She’s a professional liar with years of experience.
Democrat Patriot12Why are right wingers such lying nutjobs?
Orange Dotard Slayer - 트럼프 엿먹어11After Trump delivered his unhinged prime time speech in which he pushed more conspiracy theories about the 2020 election - Fox employees instructed to steer clear of giving credence to Trump’s delusional claims," - Bartiromo spilled the beans to the White House www.rawstory.com/maria-bartir...
Blue Limousine (he/him)8Interesting...do you think that might be why Maria Bartiromo was unceremoniously dumped by Faux News?
Maria Bartiromo joins an endless list of people who were reasonably well respected in their professions or businesses and then they joined the Trump cult and unraveled in a steady downward spiral until their careers and reputations are in complete tatters. Never go full MAGA.
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎17Apparently this is the backstory bsky.app/profile/bgru...
They Say17Maria Bartiromo was fired because she posed a risk to Fox. www.rawstory.com/maria-bartir...
Ric Fouad8Please: Maria Bartiromo was an idiot long before Trump emerged.
Post Bologna8She's ends up at CBS I bet
Birdscribe7She'll have a podcast inside of a week. ETTD remains unbeaten and untied.
Claire Splan7Actually, she was a pretty bad business journalist even before the Trump years. She was known to cozy up (not sexually, just unethically) to business leaders she'd be reporting on.
Geneva 🇨🇦3I read that she's already lawyered up and that she was let go on Aug 9, but it was only announced today
Sf4womensrights2I couldn’t be happier with this news today 😂😂
OldDudeFella 🚫👑🤴⛔️2“Never go full MAGA” is sage advice and an absolute maxim
Thornus Animator2Once you go wack,you never go back.
Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter (well worth the subscription price) has the reason Fox fired Maria Bartiromo. Darcy says Fox bosses ordered staff in writing not to amplify Trump’s voter fraud lies in his July 16 prime-time speech. She tipped off the White House, showing them Fox’s order to staff.
Mark Jacob63As I say, it's worth the subscription price, with scoops almost every day. @oliverdarcy.bsky.social
flynnish.bsky.social6So there is a bar at Fox News?
Chris Nowak61) @status.news is definitely worth the subscription price. 2) Imagine being *too pro-Trump for Fox News.*
Nice to meet you.4She’ll learn nothing but be rewarded as press secretary or some other sycophantic position.
Rod Green3The network of unethical standards has an ethical standard?
Democracy Donna2I am sure she is not the only Fox reporter telling Fox’s secrets to Trump. I hope more reporters are canned.
Timothy Burke94wow it's almost like there was a bunch of Fox employees who behind the scenes were acknowledging that what they said on TV wasn't true, can't see why that would be something anyone would care about
CEO Johnny Cans5After the Dominion Voting case you can 100% see why even Fox fucken News is going "DO NOT GET US SUED FOR THIS SHIT AGAIN" while their own presenters are desperately trying to get the sued for exactly that same shit again. What larks.
Bartiromo was the 4th TV appearance I ever made. (The first three were all on Fox: my first appearance was on Bill O’Reilly in 2007, lol — it was terrible). Anyway, I had been on w Jenna Lee and Neal Cavuto (in 2017), both of whom were really nice. Maria’s show was truly mean and awful. Bye girl
Valerie6Bartiromo has been a slimy snake for a long time, she reminds me of Jeanne Pierro
215 Pounds on the Moon, in 1/6 Gravity, Maybe.4Bartiromo, Pirro, and Dobbs were the biggest spreaders of the 2020 big lie.
N Von Ho1Guess she’ll be joining the WH.
Laurie1Maria gets side eye until she kisses the ring 😹 Simba
good lord lol “Darcy’s report added that either Trump or someone else at the White House communicated with Bartiromo about why Fox was not covering his remarks and she not only shared that network management had ordered everyone to avoid the story, but she even shared the message itself.”
darth™️143tbf i am pretty sure bartiromo's loyalty to trump over the network is not unique at fox
Sanho Tree5She’s not earning her keep.😂 “The source confirmed that it was “a confluence of factors,” including Fox’s whopping $787.5 million settlement it had to pay to Dominion Voting Systems in 2023 over 2020 election fraud claims Fox had aired, plus another lawsuit from Smartmatic “still hanging out there.”
bskwitter.bsky.social1She dared to be a truth-teller at a network of liars committed to telling lies to the liar-in-chief and to all the consumers of lies. "Hey Prez, here's a memo from my boss which says I shouldn't be covering your bullshit anymore. Presumably because your poll numbers are lower than the clap."
If Fox fired Bartiromo because they decided pushing Trump’s election conspiracies presented too much liability, that should be a warning to all the other folks considering doing his bidding this election cycle.
Amanda Carpenter81Trump’s election lies are dangerous and have consequences. 787 million of them. Fox is not the only one who paid the price, either.
Call Me Cassandra❌👑3Possibly but I doubt Fox has to count pennies. From what I can gather from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social ‘s reporting, somewhat amplified from the deep well of personal experience by @olbermann.bsky.social Maria made the mistake of crossing Rupert Murdoch.
Q: "Maria Bartiromo just left Fox News. Is she going to be the next White House Press Secretary?" Vance: "I don't know, man. No, I don't think so."
DS from NC9“Think” and JD are not words that belong in the same sentence.
SoloSojourner9Bartiromo was fired she didn’t ‘leave’. Fox is preparing to settle the defamation case with Smartmatic and hoping to do it for $1.5 billion or less.
CALI GIRL3What a bag of lying hot wind he is. He's starting early with the campaign speech for the 2028 presidency. Lies and bullshitting just like his boss. Telling you whatever you want to hear.
jOEo3The cats out of the couch now!
SheiSho2Translation: No one tells me anything because they have no respect for me and wish I’d just go away.
dad2gacs.bsky.social1Bartiromo is such a shill. A true money first “journalist” - i hope she puts on her white gloves and disappears
1. Maria Bartiromo has learned a lesson that others at Fox News have learned over the years: the patience of the Murdochs is not unlimited, and while they may be conservative and align with Trump in many areas, their ultimate loyalty is only to themselves and their own interests.
How many once-respected public figures and intellectuals have destroyed their careers or lost millions thanks to the cheap thrills and attention of stolen election conspiracies and COVID brainworms? Maria Bartiromo, obviously. Eric Metaxas. Rudy Giuliani. Naomi Wolf. I know I'm missing tons.
Mike Rothschild24Wolf had long been something of a crank, but never to the degree that she became around COVID. Metaxas was definitely conservative, but again, not like he was after 2020. Something that was always there in the background exploded into the foreground with these people, and they broke.
Senorita Ding Dong4I was just thinking how almost 25 yrs ago next week she was reporting on 9/11 as it happened on the street for CNBC and now?
Jonathan Morgan1They’ve probably actually made more by tickling the ears of the conspiracists. Their god is money.
Futuremonkey1Honest question, no sarcasm intended: Were any of those people ever truly considered "respected intellectuals"? I mean I know everyone 'loved' Rudy in the immediate aftermath if 9/11, but otherwise...?
Arg1Her husband is a hedge fund manager, I don’t think she cares other than she can’t directly help Trump on Fox anymore. It’s ok they’ll just hire another boot licker who will keep their loyalty to Fox.
Let’s play a little game called “Why did Maria abruptly leave Fox News after 12 years.” 🚨🚨🚨 Maria Bartiromo and Fox part ways, effective immediately https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/03/media/maria-bartiromo-and-fox-part-ways
Shannon AD (Antifa Commando)4She got caught telling the truth about something
Alt_Pythia4She ratted Fox out to Trump. Fox got a mad phone call from Trump. Maria got fired for causing it.
Eric Johnson3Violating terms of his/her employment agreement 🤷 bsky.app/profile/bgru...
Patrick Lancaster1Most likely a sexual harassment lawsuit. 
Travesty-Account Holder 771With her optometrist, voice coach and cosmetic surgeon unable to suggest anything else that might make her seem less like a dead-eyed ghoul, she made the mistake of asking for realtime CGI... seriously overestimating her value vis a vis a basic blonde, MAGA-faced clone from Fox's talent-factory 🤷
Next career move for Maria Bartiromo: follow in Tucker Carlson’s footsteps and start her own podcast so she can then be hyped by Glenn Greenwald, Cenk Uygur, and other online so-far-left-they’re right pundits as being more progressive than AOC.
Ryan, Your Friendly Neighborhood Dispatcher3I was going with "White House Press Secretary" but that's a viable option too.
Cognitive Dissidents1Her turn to "taint-tanning" merchandising will be... interesting.
Leon Skum1She might have a "no work or we won't pay out your contract" clause. BTW Joey Ramone wrote a song about her when she was normal.
John Bruni1She needs to take a break and rest her tongue from all of that bootlicking.
