Originally hired as financial correspondent, Bartiromo transitioned to a brazenly partisan mouthpiece for Trump. She has shamelessly defended Trump&#8217;s most preposterous policies and his most deranged outbursts with a fervor that is seen only in the most faithful followers of crackpot cults.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOR EXAMPLE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70482\" target=\"_blank\">HALLELUJAH! The Affordability Crisis is Over According to Fox News \u2013 After Talking to Some CEOs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a surprise announcement, Fox News revealed that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/maria-bartiromo-is-out-at-fox-news-1236689826\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bartiromo is no longer with the network<\/a><\/strong> effective immediately. It&#8217;s unusual for Fox to jettison a long time host under any circumstances. But it&#8217;s particularly unusual for the departure to be executed in this manner. That has only occurred in the past when there was some sort of malfeasance or personal misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>At this time there is no evidence of what Fox might regard as an impropriety associated with Bartiromo. She has been a staunchly loyal propaganda pusher for years. The only unsavory behavior on her part was uncovered when Fox News was sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems and was forced to settle for a record $787 million. Bartiromo was frequently mentioned in the lawsuit, and her flagrant lies cited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56737\" target=\"_blank\">The Fox News 3\/4 Billion Dollar Dominion Defamation Settlement is Also a Judgment Against Trump<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, Bartiromo&#8217;s role in spreading Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> was seen by her bosses as admirable, and she suffered no repercussions at the time. That was three years ago. So what might have triggered this separation?<\/p>\n<p>One possibility is that Bartiromo will be taking over as Trump&#8217;s press secretary, now that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70533\" target=\"_blank\">Karoline Leavitt has resigned<\/a><\/strong>. Bartiromo would be just the sort of person that Trump would want for that position. She&#8217;s a woman who has no hesitancy to lie for Dear Leader. She is fiercely loyal to the point of appearing brainwashed. She has a Fox News background, so she would be <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64165\" target=\"_blank\">joining her colleagues in Trump&#8217;s White House<\/a><\/strong>, including Pete Hegseth, Jeanine Pirro, and at least 20 others.<\/p>\n<p>If Bartiromo does land at the White House, it will surely disappoint some other hopefuls, such as Fox&#8217;s own Rachel Campos-Duffy and Ainsley Earhardt. Also on the list of the disillusioned would be Trump&#8217;s nursemaid Natalie Harp, CNN\u2019s Scott Jennings, and conspiracy nutcase Laura Loomer. One thing is certain, whoever it is will be worse. But they all may be let down if Trump ends up selecting his personal favorite for the job &#8211; himself!<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70367\" target=\"_blank\">REALLY?
