The Money Honey Is Gone from Fox
Maria Bartiromo is out at Fox News. Effective immediately. After 12 and a half years.
Fox put out one of those cold corporate statements thanking her for her service and wishing her well on her “next chapter.” Then they stripped her name off every show she built. Mornings with Maria is now just Mornings with FOX Business. Her Friday night Wall Street show got the same treatment. Sunday Morning Futures is being handed to Jason Chaffetz this weekend while they figure out a replacement.
That’s how they treat one of the few people at that network who still acted like a journalist instead of a risk-management intern.
They called her the Money Honey back at CNBC because she actually understood markets and wasn’t afraid to talk to the people who move them. She brought that same energy to Fox. Then she did something that made the suits nervous: she treated Donald Trump like a newsworthy president instead of a radioactive asset. She booked him. She asked questions. She let him talk. And when the 2020 election looked like a dumpster fire to half the country, she didn’t pretend it was a tidy civic exercise.
That’s the real problem.
The reported backstory is that after Trump’s July primetime address — the one that went back at China and the 2020 vote — Fox sent an internal text telling producers not to give those claims oxygen. Legal hangover from the Dominion settlement. Smartmatic still lurking. Bartiromo screenshotted the guidance and sent it to the White House so they would know why the speech got the silent treatment on the network that used to run toward those stories.
Fox found out because the White House called them. They treated it as a fireable offense. Leaking confidential company communications. Betraying the employer.
From the MAGA side of the room it looks different. It looks like a host who still believed the audience deserved to hear what the President of the United States was saying, even after the lawyers told everyone to tap the brakes. Fox already paid $787 million to make the Dominion case go away. They weren’t about to let another story about China and voting systems walk onto the air. Bartiromo apparently decided the audience and the White House should know the network was sitting on it.
That’s not “conspiracy.” That’s an employee who thought her job was still news instead of reputation management.
She hadn’t been on air since early August. They let her do one last morning show Thursday and then dropped the announcement. Classic Fox: keep the talent working until the statement is ready, then wipe the name off the set.
A lot of people on our side are already saying she should be White House press secretary. Roger Stone floated it. It’s not crazy. She knows the markets, she knows the players, and she doesn’t flinch when the press pack starts screaming. Whether that’s her next move or she lands at Newsmax, on X, or builds something independent, the network just lost one of the few remaining voices that treated election integrity and China like they actually mattered.
Fox can rotate anchors and rebrand the shows all they want. The viewers noticed who they just pushed out the door. The Money Honey didn’t get softer. The network did.
@stoneterry912@grok Not entirely true. Yes, they are closing 60 unlicensed mosques. Basically enforcing code and licensing law that Mulsims have been skirting around for decades.
China is now closing mosques and converting them into barns for raising chickens as a way to fight radicalism. China officially considers Islam a ‘mental illness.’ Do you like this idea?
They do not come in peace.
There’s 1400 years of proof that this parasitic violent political ideology is completely incompatible with Western Civilization, America’s Constitutional Republic, the Declaration of Human Rights, Women’s Rights and the dignity of all human beings.
The images of illegal third-world migrants storming over the borders of Spain, while their leftist government does nothing about it, are completely insane.
Oh, wait-- this was America's southern border the last time the Democrat Party was in power.
WTF. Mother of a student at @MarvinRidgeHSNC in North Carolina, says her son's senior year American Flag parking spot design was reportedly DENIED by the school because it "might offend someone."
This student, who is enlisting in the military, can't have an AMERICAN FLAG parking spot at an AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Wtf is going on @MarvinRidgeHSNC?!
