Maria Bartiromo Leaves Fox News Unexpectedly

Fox News has parted ways with Maria Bartiromo, Trump bootlicker extraordinaire, after 12-and-a-half years with the propaganda organization.

Fox released a surprise press release Thursday afternoon.

“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” the network said in a statement.

Bartiromo was a frequent election denier on her programs, even after her claims were central to a Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit that saw Fox cough up $787.5 million in a settlement.

A Politico reporter stated in 2025 that Trump was so pleased with her that he considered making her his vice president.

The unexpected announcement prompted MAGAts and betting markets online to speculate that she may become the next White House Press Secretary.
