You’re missing the point: Biden carried Arizona by only .3%, yet Fox called the state in a razor thin race less than 90 minutes after polls closed. Trump carried Florida by 3.3%, yet it took Fox 3 hours after polls closed before making the call. I assure you I looked carefully at the time and no one from Fox ever explained as to why it could
Call an extremely close race quickly,
but take a long time to call what was, by Florida standards in FL, a blowout. And the answer is the the jokers at Fox, Chris Stirewall et al,
wanted that AZ result, and therefore wanted to report it, whereas they didn’t want that FL result, and therefore delayed reporting it. That they ended up
Being right is beside the point

Fox had Michael Barone as their chief analyst, and he is the best in the business. I don’t know who those clowns were in 2020.

“Being right is beside the point”

Being right is always the point. Trump was way behind when they made the call. Fox expected the race to tighten, and it tightened more than expected. But so what? They got it right, it affected nothing except the feelings of a bunch of fanboys who wished for a different result. I wished for a different result, but I don’t blame fox for the truth. Go blame so sad sack suburban moms in Scottsdale who voted for Biden instead of Trump. Go blame the Californians who moved to AZ and turned it blue. But complaining about Fox for making the right call? to quote our dear leader, “Come on man...”
