KEY POINTS
- •Fox News Media announced Thursday that Maria Bartiromo is leaving after hosting at Fox Business for over 12 years.

Fox News Media dropped a shocker Thursday, announcing Maria Bartiromo, the network's 'high profile' business host, is out after 12½ years of shouting at charts and cozying with Trump. Last seen on air Aug. 9, Maria’s exit sparked wild speculation about her possibly joining the Trump administration—a romance decades in the making, as she cultivated a bromance with Mr. President so strong even the White House stayed silent, leaving everyone hanging like a Netflix season cliffhanger. Fox’s boss gave her a polite goodbye, thanking her for years of 'work' and wishing her luck on 'her next chapter'—possibly starring in Trump's Cabinet or a TikTok dance craze titled ‘Exit Strategy.’
