Maria Bartiromo's Departure Reveals the Limits of Fox's Loyalty to Trump
Fox Business will rename her programs and use rotating anchors while permanent replacements are still pending.
- On Thursday, September 3, Fox News Media confirmed Maria Bartiromo's departure after over 12 years with the network. Donald Trump praised her on Truth Social, calling her work "FANTASTIC."
- Bartiromo transitioned from her 20-year career at CNBC to Fox in 2014, eventually becoming a Trump confidant. After the 2020 election, she coordinated interview questions with Chief of Staff Mark Meadows before airing them.
- Critics point to her reporting on the 2020 election and "the chocolate cake interview" with Trump as evidence of shifting editorial standards. These segments contributed to Fox's $787.5 million settlement with Dominion.
- Starting Friday, September 4, Fox Business is renaming Mornings with Maria as Mornings with Fox Business using rotating anchors. Jason Chaffetz will host Sunday Morning Futures this weekend as the network restructures.
- The network reportedly instructed staff over the summer to avoid validating Trump's election claims, signaling a strategic shift. Restructuring appears designed to mitigate future legal liabilities following the Dominion settlement.
