The point is that Bartiromo did not simply communicate information to the President something he didn't already know.

But, that Fox News was complicit in the cover-up of the otherwise, blatant snatching-away of American sovereignty!

She should fit nicely in President Trump’s administration somewhere.

At least she was merely fired, like Lou Dobbs, and not murdered like Tim Russert.

“ Jason Chaffetz fills Sunday Morning Futures this weekend.”

Whoa! To replace Maria? That’s their bench?

Ok. This was a really bad move.

I know I’m going to be attacked for this, but I do not care. She received a confidential memo from her company, the company that pays her. Everybody knows what a confidential MEMO is. SHE CHOSE to send it to Trump. If I were her boss, I would’ve fired her too. You just don’t do that in business if she disagreed with it or was shocked by the MEMO, she should’ve quit.

We’ll see how she does without the cable megaphone.
A lot of people are cutting the cord for the likes of Sling.
The problem is infill. Fixing the user interface will take time.
Just changing channels is too easy.

She technically wasn’t fired- she’s still under contract and will be paid. I don’t know what’s in her contract, but Fox has sidelined her for the duration.

The White House outed her to her Fox News leadership. Maria shouldn’t have disclosed the information she had. Maria is a leaker. That is why Maria got fired. It isn’t some conspiracy.

Bartiromo allegedly took a screen shot of this guidance and sent it to senior White House officials, per the outlet. Fox News leadership was reportedly alerted to her action after receiving a call from the White House.

Advertisers must be mad. They run things behind the scenes on all news shows.

I wonder if Trump will call on the FCC to lose broadcast licenses for the Fox owned television stations like he did with Disney. Probably not.

Disney will use this bit of information in their suit against Trump and the FCC.
