Trump adviser accuses Fox News of muzzling MAGA after Maria Bartiromo ouster

  • Fox News Media parted ways with longtime business anchor Maria Bartiromo after more than a decade with the company, effective immediately.
  • Despite the departure, Bartiromo retains "considerable time" left on her Fox contract and will keep earning millions annually; court documents from Smartmatic's $2.7 billion defamation suit revealed she has pocketed over $70 million since 2014.
  • Reports indicate she has entered talks with CBS Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss about potentially joining 60 Minutes, as sources value her extensive Rolodex of Wall Street and political contacts.
  • Since billionaire Larry Ellison appointed Weiss last October, she has ushered conservative voices into programs like 60 Minutes to counter perceived "liberal bias," though CBS Evening News viewership dropped to 3.8 million.
  • Integrating Bartiromo into 60 Minutes presents a gamble, as observers question whether her history of political conspiracy theories conflicts with the program's institutional credibility; Ellison has historically favored "all-in" bets despite such risks.
