Plenty of people on FR say this, and then will still tune in for [insert person here].

But anyway, I believe all networks are clearly allowed to project winners and losers in races where the polls have officially closed, but where the poster’s gripe has some credibility is the fact that they were projecting the state of the whole house (without calling each seat) before all of them closed. Not a technical foul but certainly not perfectly without merit in regards to influence, but your gripe is tenuous, because they never called any seat, and it’s every voter’s responsibility to vote for his representation and issues from the local level to the federal, regardless of what’s happening elsewhere.
They were also wrong about a number of races. They called Rodney Davis as a loser in Illinois and he came back and won.
I watched about 30 seconds of FNC and switched to Fox Business. FNC wants to be in the club with the other fake news scum so bad it is sickening.
Except for Fox and Friends when my wife and I are getting ready for work, FNC is rarely on at my house anymore.
If I know a special guest is on Ingram or Hannity I might tune in otherwise I rarely watch FNC.
I prefer Fox Business, Maria Bartaromo is much easier on the eyes and great interviewer.
Last night my Mom who is so non-political it is scary was watching FNC, her and Dad like Hannity, Carlson and Ingram. She texted me about 9:45 and asked why is Fox declaring the Democrats won the House, isn’t there still lots of voting and counting going on? Yes I replied, Fox wants to suppress Republican turn out in the western states. Then she was really upset and texted can you believe the way Mike Wallace is acting, he’s being rude and snotty to Laura Ingram I don’t think I want to watch them anymore. She turned to Fox Business.
