"Fox News did not lose Maria Bartiromo in some mysterious “next chapter.” The network fired her. Then it hid behind a thank-you note and hoped nobody would ask why a woman who spent twelve and a half years building Fox Business a real audience vanished from the air after August 9."

“ How do they know that she showed this alleged memo to Trump?”

Did you read the article?

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.

“See how she does”?

Anyone who hasn’t figured out that they need assets, real estate with a retirement plan and a way to pay health insurance after getting threatened over the COVID shot is not doing well. They only pretend they are

Maria has all this

If they broadcast her show they are better.

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.

Ya so is Fox

Would Newsmax be any good for her? She’s the one with the leverage here

Press Secretary Bartiromo? I know, pay cut.


Bartiromo probably won’t take it but not because of the salary, she has a personal wealth of $100 million and shares $500 million with her husband.

It’s likely the commute to and from NYC, plus she has to take care of her mother.

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

What if this “memo” contained, or attempted to conceal, evidence of a crime? If it did, by getting fired Bartiromo can sue Fox for millions.

Are there any coroners, anywhere, who haven’t been corrupted?

Would you work for someone who outed you to your boss?

I wouldn’t.

What Maria did was wrong. If Trump’s White House didn’t disclose the leak to Fox News leadership, then she will still be at Fox News.

Russert did not work for Fox.

Same difference.

Russert was being treated for heart problems. He died of heart problems. Mystery solved.

Whoever outed her in the White House probably wasn’t thinking it would get her fired. They were probably using the info to try to force Fox News to air her story. Oops!

‘Same difference.’

Read the thread if you want to make a point on it

Russert/Dobbs/Maria all worked for the MSM.

Follow the ownerships of these news rags, and they all lead to the same owners.

The accusation is that Fox killed Russert

Take it somewhere else
