Lead report from NPR
What happened
Fox News announced it had parted ways with longtime host Maria Bartiromo after more than 12 years. Following the network's statement, an attorney representing Bartiromo denied she had been fired and suggested she was still employed. Various reports also offered differing details regarding internal network dynamics and the reasons behind her departure.
Outlets across the spectrum agree that Fox News issued a public statement announcing the departure of anchor Maria Bartiromo, and that her attorney subsequently disputed the firing and threatened legal action.
Left-leaning outlets like The New Republic and The Nation focused heavily on internal network upheaval, staff restrictions, and criticisms of Bartiromo's servility to Donald Trump. Center outlets like NPR and The Hill reported the departure neutrally based on the initial network statements. Right-leaning outlets such as Blaze Media and the Washington Examiner emphasized the attorney's combative denials and defense of Bartiromo as a professional.
