How Does Maria Bartiromo Still Work at Fox News?
Fox News’ sudden firing of its highest-rated star Tucker Carlson sent the media industry into a frenzy, prompting questions over what prompted the shock move and what impact, if any, a series of major lawsuits against the network had on the ouster.
A preponderance of reporting over the past few days has suggested to varying degrees that revelations from Dominion’s now-settled defamation lawsuit against the network and from former Tucker Carlson Tonight producer Abby Grossberg’s suit alleging a hostile workplace contributed to Fox’s decision to give Carlson the boot.
And now, looking toward the future, that raises a bigger question for some: If the lawsuits played a role in Carlson‘s exit, why hasn’t Fox also given the boot to other figures—most especially Maria Bartiromo—who loom large over the litigation?
