“#Don’t call Maria Bartiromo a conspiracy theorist \u2014 or else<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Maria Bartiromo isn\u2019t budging.<\/p>\n

Unlike well-known journalists like Megyn Kelly<\/a>, Lara Logan, Glenn Greenwald, Sharyl Attkisson, Trish Regan and others who\u2019ve either been fired from their jobs, or quit in disgust, for not toeing the mainstream line, Bartiromo sits securely atop her big perch at Fox Business. She\u2019s still firing salvos about Russiagate being a hoax and possible voter fraud in the election \u2014 and angrily calling out censorship on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t call her a conspiracy theorist.<\/p>\n

Bartiromo says that people who began smearing her after the 2016 election for being pro-Trump or \u201cright wing\u201d have it all wrong. She said she\u2019s voted both Democrat and Republican over the years. Don\u2019t even mention a 2018 headline<\/a> that read \u201cMaria Bartiromo\u2019s Strange Trip<\/a> from Money Honey to One of Trump\u2019s Top Boosters\u201d or she will erupt.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about Trump, it\u2019s about fairness,\u201d Bartiromo said during an interview on Zoom Friday morning from home, where she\u2019d just finished anchoring her three-hour \u201cMornings with Maria\u201d show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a proud American and this is still the greatest country in the world. But the business of being innocent until proven guilty goes out the window these days. It\u2019s like oh, forget that, it\u2019s Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone used to speaking her mind, she was furious at being flagged by Twitter<\/a> for some pre-election tweets. So she announced Nov. 6 she was switching to the new social media app<\/a>, Parler. She amassed more than 1 million followers in just a few days and last week helped make Parler<\/a>, billed as a non-biased, free speech-driven platform, the No. 1 free downloaded app. Many so-called \u201cconservative\u201d journalists and pundits who have been censored or banished from Twitter or Facebook are now on Parler.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to sit around and get censored by some faceless 20-somethings who don\u2019t like something I say,\u201d Bartiromo told the Post. \u201cI consider all of that election interference.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Anti-Defamation Group said Friday that Parler has become a haven for \u201chate groups, extremists and conspiracy theorists.\u201d\u00a0Parler\u2019s CEO John Matze told the Post that the site is a \u201ctown square where everyone is welcome. We ask everyone to judge us based off our neutrality, not the people who use the platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartiromo was still using Twitter as of last week but said she will be \u201cdropping scoops\u201d on Parler more than Twitter. Parler, which began in 2018, has roughly 8 million users and is still dwarfed by Twitter, with 187 million daily active users and Facebook which has 1.8 billion daily users.<\/p>\n

\u201cMornings with Maria\u201d is one of 17 hours of television Bartiromo, 53, does per week. She still rises at 3 a.m. every day to get ready for her 6 a.m. show, a grueling schedule that goes back more than 25 years. She comes across as focused and tenacious, with enough Brooklyn in her (she was born and raised in Bay Ridge) that you wouldn\u2019t want to cross her.<\/p>\n

She said she believes Trump was the victim of an attempted coup that began even before his election, based on what she said was careful study of documents and other information provided to her by members of Congress and government officials. She also said she believes the Democrats may have committed voter fraud and says the courts, not the media, should decide who won the 2020 presidential race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent 20 years at CNBC and five years at CNN,\u201d said Bartiromo, who joined Fox Business in 2014. \u201cI never really studied politics and policy. I didn\u2019t know how Washington worked. I knew there were dirty tricks but I didn\u2019t know the extent of it until I learned what they were doing to Trump. I was so shocked and outraged that this kind of behavior actually goes on, that you can come up with a story about the president colluding with Russia and weaponize the intelligence agencies of the US government. I was just not buying the collusion story. That was the line everyone had to get behind and I wouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second chapter of her latest book, \u201cThe Cost: Trump, China and American Reviva<\/a>l,\u201d which came out last month, is even titled \u201cThe Coup that Failed,\u201d<\/a> in reference to Trump.<\/p>\n

To hear her, Bartiromo\u2019s the same tough \u201ctruth seeker\u201d who held off misogynistic male traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange when she began reporting there in 1995 \u2014 and she won\u2019t be cowed by the powerful today any more than she was when she was in her 20s.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about politics with her,\u201d former NYSE chairman Richard Grasso, who greenlit Bartiromo\u2019s CNBC debut at the NYSE, told the Post. \u201cIt\u2019s about what she thinks is right and what she thinks is the truth. She calls them like she sees them. She always has.\u201d<\/p>\n

Said one insider: \u201cShe had to have sharp elbows to get where she is today. She got a lot of grief from men who didn\u2019t want her around but she didn\u2019t let that stop her. After going through that she\u2019s hardly going to be afraid of the Twitter mob.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
