Fox News Dismisses Maria Bartiromo in Sudden Shake-Up

Fox News Media abruptly fired Maria Bartiromo after more than a decade with the company, offering no explanation. The anchor, known for Fox Business’ morning show and Sunday Morning Futures and for her pro-Trump coverage, has been off-air since August. The network will replace her Fox Business program with Mornings with FOX Business featuring rotating anchors, and Jason Chaffetz will host Sunday Morning Futures this weekend as a new host is named. Internal documents tied to Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits reveal Bartiromo’s past openness to the theory that the 2020 election was rigged, and the staff page for Bartiromo was removed by day’s end, fueling speculation about her future and potential administration roles.
