Bias & framing notes
Source 1 (denver7.com) briefly and neutrally reports the Fox News confirmation of Bartiromo's departure. Source 2 (newsbusters.org) covers an entirely different story — Norah O'Donnell's return to CBS mornings — and provides no relevant reporting on Bartiromo; it was not usable for this summary. The trust score reflects a single usable source, though that source cites a direct statement from Fox News Media itself.
