I only see Maria Barf-Aroma on occasional CNN or MSNBC clips. Has she always

[Atticus]

been so messed up or did four years of Trumpism send her 'round the bend?

[unblock]

1. She was not bad on cnbc when she was just talking business

she did have the occasional moment of stupidity but in fairness covering all the markets and all industries is a challenging job.

I don't recall her talking much politics early on other than echoing "pro-business/pro-investor" talking points when legislation was being discussed, which wasn't all that often.

2. My recollection is

she was a financial reporter.

3. At one time she was a respected CNBC reporter covering the New York Stock Exchange.

Some weird metamorphosis took control of her after she joined Fox. She is now a brainwashed right-wing lunatic. She is married to a billionaire, that probably explains some of her politics.

[Omnipresent]

4. Someone told her once to "Go crazy, and follow your dreams"....

So she went straight to Fox and the rest is history!

5. No, she's kind of like Lou Dobbs. Like him, she used to be a fairly conventional

finance reporter. Dobbs had jumped the rails even before TFG; he got a bigger and bigger bug up his ass about immigration and was full-on barking mad by the time TFG became president. Bartiromo took longer, but she's been drinking from the same vat of Kool-Aid.

6. I just saw her a few mins ago as part of a clip on MSNBC

-haven’t laid eyes on her in years. OMFG. She appeared to be drunk, with hiccups. Puffy. Terrible.

7. Maria Bartiromo is basically a North Korean news anchor now
