Citigroup's Thomson out: Is Maria Bartiromo to blame?

WE HAVE A C172 AND WILL BE HAPPY TO TAKE MARIA ANY
PLACE SHE WANTS TO GO (ANY TIME)

Heck, I don't have a plane, but will drive if she is the passenger. A disturbing article.

I watch CNBC faithfully more to be entertained than enlightened. The beautiful Maria Bartiromo and her colleagues , along with Jim Cramer, have for a long time now turned what started out to be a serious business show into a free for all for the hucksters who daily parade before the cameras to tell you one thing and do the other, or tell you one thing one day and the very opposite the next day.

Maria and her merry band of tricksters simply mirror the financial press itself. Lies and more lies from Wall Stree shills and other assorted snake oil salesmen.
So, keeping the rules of CNBC's game in mind, what's not to like?

I don't have a plane, but I'll take Maria any place she want to go, too.

A good Italian girl....

I love Maria. This story is stupid. I love all their talking heads. I would switch gender preference for Aaron. The only two that get on my nerves are the old guy skinny who usually reports the noon news and doesnt smile, and that other Italian/Spanish chick who looks like Maria. That one tends to come over kind of mean when she interviews people. Take all the freebies you can get Maria and keep smiling! Pizza for everyone!

Thomson is responsible for his actions, not Bartiromo. Blaming only gets us stuck in the past and throw kerosene on malicious gossip. The title of the article focuses on a trivial topic.

Maria is probably the most honest person in the business. Leave her alone and let her do her job. She is fabulous and in my book can do no wrong.

My goodness! Much ado about nothing! (Shakespere)

MARIA BARTERROMO IS A SHARP CNICK. REAL SMART GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF ALL SHE REPORTS.SHES A KEEPER.WHO WOULDNT TRY TO GET IN HER GOOD GRACES.THIS IS THE WORLD OF BUSINESS CONTACTS.WHATEVER IT TAKES.

We would be happy to take her anywhere in one of our Classic Muscle Cars. We love Maria !!

Let's remember this is a New York Times article. Any thing they can come up with to hurt the Right leaning Wall St. Corporate types flies over there. Remember "all the news that is fit to print", especially when it might make people feel like big business is evil.
Bottom line, if you are a Citigroup stockholder, you made out pretty good these past few years as they have become the richest Banking Corp in the world.

Not the thing to do /smart Maria.

Bartiromo sucks!

Only in a puritanic society someone gets whipped for having reached the pinnacle of success in the world of finance, and in... love. So Mr. Thompson flew Maria on (his) corporate jet to Asia. Love must be in the air. So Mr. Prince, the Puritan, got rid of him. Too bad. Has he ever fallen in love, madly in love? I'd think not.

Another GE exec following in Jack's footsteps except
Welch went print and Thompson went electronic!

Maria Barterromo is the best in the business. Who could ask for more than she really is.
Beautiful,extremely intelligent,a princess in her world.
She stands a head taller than most in her business with honesty and integrity beyond reproach.She should have a jet at her disposal at all times and go where ever she finds it desireable. You can never tel;she might even visit Virginia.She fits in anywhere and at anytime.Leave her out of all the rukus.It is obvious that someone is out to destroy some careers and who knows what else.Go Maria!!!!!

I'M OLD, BUT I CERTAINLY KNOW BEAUTY, AND AM AMUSED THAT SO MANY YOUGER MEN FIND MARIA BARTIROMO "BEAUTIFUL." SHE IS JUST ANOTHER TV REPORTER, AND A NOT-SO-GREAT ONE AT THAT. I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO WATCHING HER SHOW EVER SINCE CNN CLOSED DOWN MONEYLINE, WHICH WAS EXCELLENT.

maria might be italian but i believe her married name is sussman...unless she got divorced recently

What difference does it make if Bartiromo is beautiful. Beautiful women are worthless unless you can get intimate contact with them. What MB shows is that if you are a beautiful woman you get a free lunch until menopause then it is payback time.

Maria Barterromo
is what makes CNBC Numbers believe it or not.
I watch it every day ..........
Sorry Mr Kramer , I know you are smarter but she is prettier
