Maria Bartiromo leaving CNBC for Fox Business Network and Fox News

Maria Bartiromo, a groundbreaking financial reporter who helped put the cable news channel CNBC on the map, is jumping to rival Fox Business Network.

Bartiromo, who first made a name for herself by reporting live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, will be reunited with her old CNBC boss Roger Ailes, who now runs the Fox News empire.

The departure of Bartiromo, who hosted CNBC's afternoon show "Closing Bell," is a major loss for the cable channel. The reporter, who was initially known as the "money honey" when she first rose to prominence, is still one of CNBC's most popular personalities.

Besides having a show on Fox Business Network, Bartiromo will also have a presence on Fox News, a person familiar with the company's plans said.

4. Rewrite: "Stock Fluffer To Get Cushy New Chair, Extra Lip Balm"

on Money Honey and all her ilk.

5. She'll fit in just right. She was a big GW Bush supporter and there are a lot of other younger women

that have wanted to push her out and take her place as the wall street honey. She's getting a little long in the tooth anyway. She also hates President Obama with a passion and says his name with contempt.

Working many years in Wall Street West in San Francisco I met quite a few men who "knew" Maria and she was on her knees a lot. She'll join Megan and the others who bow on their knees to Ailes and not in the way you think. In my old investment banking office in the 80's and 90's they'd say the women who got ahead did it by being either a rich investors daughter, member of the temple or the old fashioned way on her back. I saw it all the time. One women got drunk at a party I was at one night and told us the penis sizes of many of more lewd men in our office. I was raised a good girl and never succumbed to that pressure but I had many opportunities to further my career that way.

Yes Maria will fit right in and be forgotten at the third rate business channel. CNBC, Bloomberg (they are closing in on CNBC though) and in last place Fox business.

6. Pretty snarky

And sexist. Shame on you.

[MattBaggins]

10. Your post is pure crap.

[kimbutgar]

12. Sorry you don't like my comment. It is well known on Wall Street about Maria

I can't tell you the number of times I have heard this about her at traders conventions.

[MattBaggins]

13. So what?

Her sexual life is of no concern.

She is an asshole for other reasons.

Slut Shaming is frowned upon on DU

[kimbutgar]

14. She's one slut I don't mind shaming she pushes the 1% meme everyday

to the determent of the 99%. I used to hear her everyday bashing poor people and unions and saying the rich are getting hurt if their taxes are raised. I kind of look at it differently. Plus I would say the same thing about a man.

7. a groundbreaking financial reporter?

hunh?!

[spanone]

8. so predictable...

[lpbk2713]

9. Her first interview with The Quitter should be aired on the Comedy Channel.

I can't wait.

[musiclawyer]

11. Honestly I think the daily show destroyed her

Credibility a few weeks back when highlighting financial news reporting hypocrisy ......
Fox News is the end of the line where discredited (non) go join the other paid news mercenaries

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

15. Finally where she belongs

A right-wing hack if there ever was one.

[Liberal_Dog]

16. A Perfect Fit

MB didn't really try to hide her contempt for President Obama and Dems in general.

She will be gone and quickly forgotten.

17. In News No One On Earth Is Surprised By . . .

Wing-ding anchorperson goes from wingding outlet to righter-wingding outlet. Fitting.

It always makes me chuckle when I go to these boards that let just any swill-sipping fuck with a crayon on there, and how these idiots state "CNBC LEENS LEFT LOOK AT THE SUFFIXX!!!21!". Anyone who thinks this thing is even a moderate channel - doesn't watch it. Bartiromo is horrible, but she's only part of the RNC Propaganda Arm fiasco that is CNBC. Every damned time a politician is on there, 5:1 it's a Repub, and an arch-right Repub at that. Last week, they had Michele Bachmann on there, instantly rendering them a comedy station. Cato/Heritage stooges are frequent guests. AEI "economists" are their "experts". Every CEO/financier/RWM on there all push the same anti-Obama/anti-government/pro-Trickle Down/pro-laissez fail narrative. The commentators (especially those on Squawk Box) are nothing short of shameless and pathetic . . . I haven't seen this much GOP ass-kissing since the 2004 re-coronation.

Did I mention Rick Santelli, a commodities caricature so cartoonish it has to be seen to be believed?

18. Faux ... where washed up hacks go to die.

Soon it will be "whatever happened to Maria whatsername?"
