Barrett Media ^ | September 3, 2026 | Garrett Searight

Fox News is parting ways with Maria Bartiromo after more than 12 years with the company. The network announced the move on Thursday afternoon.

What We Know: Bartiromo has anchored multiple programs across Fox News Media, including Mornings with Maria on Fox Business Network. The morning program aired weekdays from 6-9 AM ET. She also hosted Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street on Friday evenings from 7-7:30 PM ET. Meanwhile, her Fox News program Sunday Morning Futures will have a temporary change this weekend. Fox News will have Jason Chaffetz host Sunday Morning Futures this week. The network plans to announce a new permanent host at a later date. Bartiromo’s departure also brings an end to her roles across both Fox News and Fox Business Network. Her tenure included a lengthy run covering markets, business, and politics for the company.

What They Said: “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter.” -Fox News statement

What Remains Unclear: Fox News hasn’t announced when Bartiromo’s final appearances will air or whether another role remains available for her. The network also hasn’t identified who will permanently succeed her on Sunday Morning Futures. Additionally, details about Bartiromo’s next professional move remain unknown.

What It Means: Bartiromo’s exit represents a significant change for Fox News Media’s business-news lineup. Her presence helped connect Fox Business Network’s financial coverage with Fox News’ political audience. Now, the company must determine how to replace a familiar face across multiple important time slots. For Bartiromo, the departure opens the door to a new chapter after more than a decade at Fox.

Corporate lawyers understand that Judge Davis could strike at any time with his antics. That Supreme Court seat would end Freedom of the Press.

The illusion of “free and fair elections” must be maintained by any means necessary.

Something stinks at Fox Business and it ain’t Maria Bartiromo.

It’s Judge Eric Davis in Dominion v Fox having an iron fist. He will be the next Democrat Supreme Court Justice and strike down Freedom of the Press, he’s protecting China and Dominion Voting Systems by dictating firing of opponents. This is the next step in the Left’s playbook — media restrictions by mandate. Who knows, Democrat Inauguration with Netflix having exclusive video rights, no other media allowed to cover.

I'm pretty sure Sharyl and Maria were pretty good friends, one of the only ways to save the show. But, truth be known Maria is a lot like Rush. No one can replace either broadcaster.
Bottom line for me FNC FBN are both foreign owned and run and neither one gives a dam about America.
Once again following the money I wish i had the know-with-all to find where all the 787 million fox paid out actually went.
I have my suspicions but not even a guess.
Its too much money to simply pay out to a corp. that was guilty as sin,had to be more to it.

Well, if her actions were part of the reason it cost the company $700+ Million dollars, I can understand why Fox would be concerned.

She had nothing to do with that settlement, which was curious to begin with. There is plenty of evidence out there, which show Dominion and Smartmatic were compromised. They were part of the cabal that staged a coup against the sitting President of the United States. Murdoch wanted Trump out. The early Fox call for Biden on the results in Arizona was an indication that something was not quite right.

Anyone in the MSM who calls out the many instances of election irregularities in the 2020 election is silenced and/or removed. Lou Dobbs and Tucker Carlson are examples.

I recall what happened to Lou Dobbs and Tucker Carlson when they raised the issue of election irregularities in 2020. It is the third rail at Fox. Murdoch was in on the coup witness the early call on AZ in 2020. The fix was in and many knew about it.

WH--Election integrity Trump address to the nation on July 26, 2026.

China’s Acquisition and Exploitation of American Voter Data

Over a period of years starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history—resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote, and engage in other nefarious activities. This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.

Members of the Deep State in our intelligence agencies worked to actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China’s sinister election meddling—covering it up from both the President and the American People. U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020, when they discovered that tens of millions of voters’ data in 18 states had been bought, stolen, or hacked by China. Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information hidden.

July 1, 2025 Grassley Releases Bombshell Records Showing FBI Headquarters Interfered with Alleged Chinese Election Interference Probe to Shield Christopher Wray from Political Blowback

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today released internal Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) emails revealing the FBI suppressed intelligence of alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 election to insulate then-FBI Director Christopher Wray from criticism, after Wray provided inaccurate and contradictory testimony to Congress.

The FBI declassified and provided the requested records to Grassley, along with an accompanying cover letter, after Grassley initially received some information from whistleblower disclosures. The FBI emails offer an inside look at the Bureau’s decision to recall and suppress an Intelligence Information Report (IIR) from the FBI’s Albany Field Office on September 25, 2020. The IIR contained information from an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) alleging the Chinese government was producing “tens of thousands” of fraudulent drivers’ licenses to manufacture mail-in votes for then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

According to the FBI, these allegations, despite showing initial signs of credibility, were allegedly never fully investigated due to the FBI’s sudden and “abnormal” decision to halt the investigation and bury the IIR’s existence, preventing any additional FBI field offices, as well as other Intelligence Community elements, from accessing or studying the document. The FBI’s stated reason for doing so was because “the reporting will contradict Director Wray’s testimony.”

Anyone who thinks the 2020 election wasn't fixed is insane.

Exactly and when she threatened to expose it she was fired.
Jokes on them however. Between her and her husband they are worth big money and never needed fox to begin with.
