Maria Bartiromo is out at Fox News.
In a tersely worded announcement, the network just said Goodbye and Good Luck.
She actually has not been on the air since August 7th, so it’s possible some kind of negotiation with Fox has been taking place all this time.
Maria’s been there 12 1/2 years during which she became obsessed with supporting Donald Trump. Some think she might be going to Washington to replace Karoline Leavitt.
Not so fast.
Bartiromo is married for 26 years to Jonathan Steinberg, who’s worth $300 million. His father was the even wealthier Saul Steinberg. The couple would have to move to Washington, which would seem unlikely.
Did she just walk into a meeting and tell Fox News people she’s on to them? Something happened because this was abrupt! Maria seemed like a loyal lieutenant all the time. She was Roger Ailes’ favorite correspondent. He started her career at CNBC and brought her to Fox. Down in the Other Place, he must be shocked.
