(Maria Bartiromo) , what is the story behind this trend in X?
03-09-2026
The current trend on X involving Maria Bartiromo stems from Fox News Media announcing today (September 3, 2026) that it is parting ways with her after 12½ years. barrettmedia.comFox issued a brief statement thanking her for her work and wishing her well in her “next chapter,” without giving a specific reason. Her final episode of Mornings with Maria on Fox Business aired this morning. The show is being rebranded as Mornings with FOX Business with rotating anchors. Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street is also being rebranded, and Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News will be hosted this weekend by Jason Chaffetz while a permanent replacement is chosen. press.foxnews.comReports note she had not appeared on air since early August. On X the conversation mixes tributes to her long career in financial journalism (including pioneering live reporting from the NYSE floor), speculation about her next role, comments on her wealth, and criticism from those who viewed her coverage as overly partisan. Some posts treat the departure as sudden and unexpected; others frame it as the end of a prominent Fox Business/Fox News presence.
