MARIA BARTIROMO OUT AT FOX NEWS AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE AT CABLE GIANT:

Maria Bartiromo is out at Fox News after more than 12 years at the cable giant, the company said Thursday.

“Effective today, Maria Bartiromo is no longer with Fox News Media,” the company announced.

“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12-and-a-half years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” Fox News Media said in a statement.

The final episode of “Mornings with Maria,” Bartiromo’s weekday Fox Business Network show, aired Thursday morning. It will be replaced Friday by “Mornings with FOX Business,” featuring rotating anchors.

According to Dylan Byers of Puck, “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.”

Yashar Ali adds, “No one in Murdoch’s world is indispensable. No one. Everyone, from his children and wives to loyal executives and talent, is fungible. Yet people around him keep convincing themselves that they are indispensable, that somehow they will be the exception. But when the end finally comes, it often comes with such speed and finality that it takes their breath away.”
