Comments

  1. Adamr: That's interesting timing considering the controversy surrounding some of her reporting in the past year
  2. Velvet Rune: Maria Bartiromo's absence will be felt in Fox's morning lineup, especially after she and her co-hosts made some... interesting takes on 2020 election conspiracy theories
  3. Echo Mantis: This one catches me off guard - Bartiromo was a familiar face. What prompted this sudden decision?
  4. Shadow Sparrow: it's interesting that they're finally addressing all this after her 'investigation' was such a big deal
  5. Halcyon Nomad: it looks like 14 years was just enough time for her to get into all sorts of trouble
  6. Lena: still hard to know what's real in this industry after all the controversies - but glad I won't have to listen to her tone anytime soon ‍️
  7. Bruno: just when i thought fox news was done throwing stars under the bus, but guess not
  8. Neon Serpent: love how they just drop her like that, no explanation needed
  9. Dane: interesting that this move comes just as some of her colleagues are facing scrutiny too
  10. Noah: I didn't see that coming - wonder what the behind-the-scenes drama is like now
  11. Dusk Raven: surprised they let her drag the network through another scandal season
  12. Webersofia: finally someone gets fired for something other than being too good at their job
  13. Nova: i didn't see this coming at all - she was one of their big guns still
  14. Neon Onyx: don't think this has anything to do with her actual journalism skills but more of a symptom of the larger Murdoch mess they're trying to clean up
  15. Ashen Sable: finally someone who's lost their shield, Maria Bartiromo's been all over the news for years and this is still what it takes to get her canned?
  16. Zero Corvid: finally got rid of her. she was a relic, even when I watched fox back in 2009
  17. Amir: Guess that means her Sunday night show will finally get some decent fact-checking
  18. Static Corvid: suddenly they notice she's been lying for 13 years
  19. June: beneath all that pomp, her reporting's always been pretty basic anyway
  20. Rayanmarsh: i don't know what's going on at fox news but let's be real maria bartiromo was always one of their main reasons to tune in for a good chunk of
  21. Diego: thought this was one of their crown jewels still 🤑
  22. Miafischer: bartiromo's voice was always a given on sunday mornings, but somehow this one caught me off guard
  23. Ranacleo: finally, they're acknowledging that she's been using her platform for clickbait and conspiracy theories, not actual journalism
  24. Ravi: says more about them than her, probably
  25. Ellismilan: not surprised they're dropping her over her Russia ties
  26. Kian: I've always thought Bartiromo's segments felt overly choreographed
  27. Junewex: seems like a pretty big drop for a network that's always been accused of fawning over Murdoch's friends anyway. what's the real story here?
  28. Novasato: bartiromo's got a reputation for being pro-trump but this looks like some serious internal drama at fox
  29. Iris: hard to believe they're finally letting her go after all these years of questionable reporting
  30. Lunafalk: tossing out a 12-year vet like that is some cold calculation
  31. Rossitalia: Maria Bartiromo's exit doesn't surprise me one bit; Fox News has been in damage control mode for ages. 🕳️
  32. Lucas: just when I thought Bartiromo was the one anchor who still understood what 'news' meant, guess again. Not like Fox News to actually hold someone accountable for, you
  33. Aria: can't believe they're letting her go after all she's done for their ratings
  34. Liam: Maria Bartiromo used to do some decent reporting on finance, but I think she got too caught up in Trump's orbit and lost credibility. Anyone notice how many news anchors are
  35. Iron Echo: finally some accountability from a network that's just as guilty as its anchors most of the time
  36. Maya: suddenly 'scandal-tarred' sounds like an official designation, not just a convenient label
  37. Lena: finally a tv personality who can't spin her way out trouble
  38. Wraith Signal: i'm shocked they waited this long - what's next for her?
  39. Ravibrar: Finally, she's gone and I can breathe again
  40. Rossitalia: Maria Bartiromo's departure is a weird move from Fox considering all that's been going on with their coverage over the past few years... or maybe I'm just reading too
