Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo Attacks The Media And People Can’t Believe The Hypocrisy
Fox News host Maria Bartiromo ― fresh from allowing President Donald Trump to spew election falsehood unchallenged on her show ― on Monday accused the media of taking sides.
And folks on Twitter couldn’t believe the irony, given Bartiromo’s history of sycophantic comments about the president.
In an interview with the right-wing Daily Caller, Bartiromo claimed mainstream media such as The New York Times and CNN are “just not news.”
“They’ve taken a side,” she complained. “They are the mouthpieces for the Democrat Party and they are trying hard to affect elections. I mean, I think it is election interference.”

Critics could not believe the gall of the cable personality, who has stumped for Trump and often fawns over him in interviews.
“Irony is truly dead,” wrote one Twitter user:
