The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Fox News Media said Thursday that Maria Bartiromo is no longer with the company, ending a 12½-year run as a Fox Business anchor and global markets editor. The announcement was effective immediately and came hours after Fox Business aired the final episode of Mornings with Maria, with no on-air sign-off or stated reason. Bartiromo had been absent from her shows for weeks, and Fox removed her corporate biography. Subsequent reports said she was fired after informing the White House about internal guidance not to promote Trump’s election-conspiracy claims.
