When did Maria Bartiromo become a lunatic?

Brianna Keilor just did a segment on Bartiromo's reporting. It was so nutso it seemed more like an SNL skit than clips of actual news broadcasting. Her interviews with Trump were ludicrous.

She was once a respected reporter on the NYSE.

It is actually rather sad to see someone on television give off the rails reporting of conspiracy theories and who seems to have submitted to mind control.

She went pretty much full supply sider many years ago. It was only a short trip from there to Trump lover.

I used to watch that with my father last decade and she was doing straight business.

EDIT: Before that she was on CNN!

All the segments I've seen her in have been top notch. I think we'll see her in prime time as soon as there's an opening.

Which featured the song "Maria Bartiromo":

What´s happening on Wall St.
What´s happening at the Stock Exchange
I want to know
What´s happening on Squawk Box
What´s happening with my stocks
I want to know
I watch you on the TV every single day
Those eyes make everything okay
I watch her every day
I watch her every night
She´s really outta sight

I wouldn't call him lunatic only because who knows how he'd view the right-wing in the age of Trump but he really tried to get the band to change the name Bonzo Goes to Bitburg because he thought it was disrespectful to Reagan.

He also said punk is conservative.

Didn't know much about Wall Street. Traders would laugh at her behind her back.

I'm gonna say it.....she must (censored), because she has little talent or depth of knowledge.

During the Al smith benefit in 2016 when everyone else was booing him. It was strangely obvious that she was in deep for Trump.

Probably the only difference is that early on she was confined to talking about the financial markets and she was rather good at that.

When she was at CNBC,she was required to read a script on a teleprompter.

On Air Talents working for Comcast Media are not allowed to stray far from their scripts. Fox,everything is rehearsed prior to going live.

She was pushing the Hunter Biden laptop thing pretty hard.

Today she has been whining about how "mean" everyone is to Trump.
