Two executives involved in the early call of Arizona for Joe Biden on Election Night, angering many conservatives, are no longer employed at the cable network whose ratings took a subsequent nosedive.

Two executives involved in the early call of Arizona for Joe Biden on Election Night, angering many conservatives, are no longer employed at the cable network whose ratings took a subsequent nosedive. Both have been lightning rods for conservatives since the election. The Associated Press reports:

Bill Sammon, senior vice president and managing editor at Fox’s Washington bureau, announced his retirement to staff members on Monday. On Tuesday, as part of a restructuring of Fox’s digital operations, politics editor Chris Stirewalt was let go.

No one trusts them anymore. No one likes to be lied to. The problem starts with the Murdoch kiddies. Then there is the board of directors with such loathsome people as Paul Ryan. Then is the smirking Cristy Wallace and the ignorant Juan Williams. Even if some reporters are honest they appear to be muzzled. Are they liars or saying what it takes to keep their jobs. Who knows. The problem is MUCH, MUCH bigger than the Arizona early call.

There you have it. People have seen thru Fox’s leftist slant. Sure, there areca few good people still there, but policy at the highest level is driven by Leftists.

90% of Fox needs to go, and be replaced with true Americans.

I don’t see how Fox News gets out of the hole they dug. The Murdoch spawn wanted it to be new CNN and they got it. My wild guess is that PDJT is going to start a media/tech empire to give the Left a run for their $$$. I don’t think he wants to run for Pres again. Been there, done that. Don Jr., though......He’d have my vote.

Good Riddance. I turned off all election coverage after that call and went to bed. How pathetic.

It’s nice of FOX to single them out for outstanding performance! I wonder if either of these fine gentlemen would be interested in discussing media collusion with the FBI? I wonder if the FBI is interested in asking about media collusion? /s

The fish is rotting from the head down. It is rotten all the way to the dorsal fin so they cut off a piece of the tail.

Way too little, and way too late.

Meanwhile, Chris Wallace said Biden’s inauguration speech was “the best inaugural address I’ve ever heard”. Fox is crazy if they think any of us are coming back.

Anyone who employs that crooked slob Donna Brazile should be run out of business forever.

From article: // Both have been lightning rods for conservatives since the election. // Yeah - as you say. They’re still willfully ignorant or wishful thinking

“””Both have been lightning rods for conservatives since the election. “””


Stirewalt and Sammons are the sacrificial lambs.

When FOX gets rid of the likes of Chris Wallace, Paul Ryan, Donna Brazille then conservatives ‘might’ consider returning.

I think these firings are Fox News trying to slow their leftward drift in an effort to recover some viewership. I think that will happen because our viewing alternatives are nothing more than various versions of old style Soviet Pravda which is all government bull-shiite all the time.

Of course that may all change as soon as the Xiden operatives decide that any information outlet that is not broadcasting 110% loyalty to the administration will be purged.

I think they hired some leftists to spew the leftist positions in the debate. The problem is that they are supposed to be a pinata, but they are not whacking them like a pinata deserves to be whacked.

Great observation.

Yes, and maybe I’ll return. For now, I will not watch.

Bill Sammon and Chris Stirewalt are only two of the many reasons not to watch Fox News.
