NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar....
Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.
A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.
Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.
Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.
Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement.

Dylan Byers is pretty reliable and has lots of sources, so I think he got the back story correct.
Very big mistake Fox.
I thought maybe she was picked to star as Sophia Loren in a biopic...
MORE: Maria Bartiromo has hired famed lawyer Bryan Freedman …
*and: she was fired shortly after last appearance on August 9, though network announced news today
A middle aged Sophia. Which ain’t bad.
Firing her seems a tad excessive if this story is true.
If true, I hope she winds up owning Faux Snooze.
Smells like Paul Ryan
I just saw this, too! Here’s what (the b@stards at) CNN have to say. Of course, it ain’t pretty!
Fox News abruptly ousts Maria Bartiromo, a longtime Trump ally
“Bartiromo did make Fox Business more competitive. But for the past 10 years she has been defined by her proximity to, and promotion of, Trump and the MAGA movement.
Bartiromo’s former colleagues and friends talked about her MAGA transformation with bafflement and disappointment.
At the right-wing Fox News, Bartiromo’s coziness with Trump often worked to her advantage, with exclusive interviews and access to the president’s inner circle. Bartiromo was even appointed to the board of the Kennedy Center last year. The president has repeatedly used his social media platform to praise Bartiromo, and vice versa.
But her backchannel relationship with the president also caused headaches for Fox management.
Bartiromo was the first Fox anchor to promote the false claims about the 2020 presidential election that led voting machine company Dominion to sue Fox for defamation.”
Oooo! Make her President Trump’s Press Secretary, LOL! I’d love that!
makes sense....didn’t FOX mute people immediately after the 2020 election who had similar stories about election cheating?
So she was exposing the stolen 2020 election and Fox fired her for it.
Thanks for posting – – I think we were all wondering what happened.
She was awesome in her business reporting, interview skills, analysis, etc. Anyone thinking she’s going to be the new press secretary; forget it! She is way above that! She needs to work in the administration in some financial leadership capacity.
She will certainly be missed by all Fox News viewers.
LOL even before I clicked the link I knew the article was written by the that fat sweaty slob Stelter .
“So she was exposing the stolen 2020 election and Fox fired her for it.”
____________________________________________________________
She was fired for already costing Fox nearly $800,000,000.00 for defamation, with another $2 to $3 billion coming their way in the next case.
If she were a legal witness, she’d be identified as unreliable and challenged by the opposition.
I’m missing her already. I love her morning show and was waiting for her to return from, what I thought was, vacation.
False claims? Communist indoctrination.
2020 WAS stolen.
i think i’ll wait until Maria herself says something rather than waste time with a gaggle of anonymous sources ...
Conspiracy, coverup, scandal, and whistleblower protection.
