I nor my wife will never forget or get over switching to FOXNews on election night to only see a state by state banner running at bottom of screen and viewing that with just 5% of the votes counted in VIRGINIA, FOXNews had Virginia called for BidenIdiot.....again, with just 5% of the overall votes counted! Like W T F !!!?

FOXNews can disappear from TV for all I care.

Chris Stirewalt, the Fox News political editor in charge of the decision desk which called Arizona for Joe Biden before the polls closed on election night was laid off on Tuesday.

The Fox News decision desk called Arizona for Joe Biden while voters were still standing in line on election night.

Baris said Fox News deliberately called Arizona early for Joe Biden to pause the ballot counting in the Midwest.

Suddenly the counting stopped in Maricopa County, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan (and Pennsylvania) completely froze.

All of a sudden there are two massive ballot dumps in Wisconsin and Michigan for Joe Biden — the ballot dumps of over 250,000 ballots went 100% to Joe Biden.

Chris Stirewalt, Fox and select members of the election desk need to be hauled into a Federal Court and tried for actively engaging in election fraud.

At the very least they committed a serious violation of 18 U.S. Code section 59.

Further investigation may reveal that Stirewalt and others at the Fox desk may have been aware of the fake ballot scheme--and , in fact, actually conspired to do Fox's part in the overturning of the 2020 United States election.

FOX may be the first with these firings but the rest of the networks will soon follow. When votes don't matter, neither do politicians nor the propagandists who support them.

Outside of any politics, Fixed Transmission Televideo has been surpassed by internet and phone apps. The clowns left behind at the networks will have their salaries renegotiated down while recent college grads staff the transition team to shut it all down.

“How does FOX news still have ~ 50% of its former audience?”

My feelings exactly. You mean after the Election Night scheming and manipulations against President Trump, OVER HALF THEIR AUDIENCE STILL TUNES IN???

Like a dog that returns to it’s vomit....

Trump had more than 270 by 10:30

Plus he was ahead by almost 10%. I went to sleep thinking it was a landslide.

They must have all been told no matter what do not call the election for Trump.

I woke up early and From 4 to 6:30 AM I watched hundreds of thousands of votes suddenly appear.

He’ll be paid well. Better, probably, outside FoxNews than he was inside.

The swamp takes very good care of its members.

Hey, Rupert, good start.......ditch Puke Ryan, Trey Gowdy, Chris Wallace, Donna Brazile, Juan Williams, and Marie Harf........and you got a deal.

Fox News purge: Political editor Chris Stirewalt - who was part of the election team that called Arizona for Biden - is laid off alongside up to 20 other digital staffers

Chris Stirewalt, a political editor who had been with Fox News for more than a decade, is among the staffers to be laid off

He was part of Fox’s election night team that called Arizona for Joe Biden before other networks, in a move that infuriated Donald Trump and his supporters

In addition to Stirewalt, at least 16 editorial staffers from the Fox News Digital department have been laid off
Some of those staffers include senior editors and reporters who have been with Fox for a decade

Fox described the redundancies as ‘restructuring’ but insiders told The Daily Beast it was a ‘purge’ to make the network more align with Trumpian views

In 2 months time conservatives tanked Faux news. Imagine what we could do to Twitter if we all left. So far, the only prominent conservatives that I heard have left Twitter are Mark Levin and Rush. The other one’s seem to enjoy being treated like crap.

Ironic to hear people complain about their censorship, but are too addicted to let it go.
