Meet Arnon Mishkin: Democrat Political Consultant Who Will Determine Next President for Fox News

The man who heads up the team election night ‘Decision Desk’ at Fox News has worked with high profile Democrats from Los Angeles to New York

The Fox News “Decision Desk” has a reputation for being accurate, but that team is not without its associative bias. In fact, the lead on that team has worked with a notable Democrat political consultant who represented Tom Bradley, Ed Koch, and Michael Bloomberg.

Arnon Mishkin, 65, leads the Decision Desk team of statisticians, number crunchers, and political scientists who will scrutinize the vote count – the group that will eventually call the election for either President Trump or Democrat challenger Joe Biden.

This team analyzes the completed polling numbers, historical trends, and reports coming out of the election authorities – as well as exit polling, and determines its best guess at who the winners will be, not only in the presidential race, but in House and Senate races, as well.

Mishkin, who aside from heading up FOX News’ Decision Desk, heads his own consultancy that advises media companies on marketing and digital strategies. But it’s who Mishkin is associated with that has the tendency to raise eyebrows where being truly non-partisan is concerned.

Mishkin is married to Susan Fine, who today is a real estate developer. Fine previously served as an editor for the decidedly left-leaning NBC News. As an aside, these two high-profile individuals do not have Wikipedia entries in their names.

The New York Times reported that Fox News' decision desk head Arnon Mishkin, at just after 12:30 a.m., was standing by his team's call.

Trump himself also dismissed Mishkin during an early morning appearance as "the gentleman that called it."

But Mishkin, a management and polling consultant who has been the head of the decision desk since 2008, stood firm, telling the network's anchors that the Trump campaign's insistence that it could still win Arizona was incorrect.

"I'm sorry, the president is not going to be able to take over and win enough votes," he said. "We're not wrong in this particular case."

At 2:15 a.m., about three and a half hours later, The Associated Press also called Arizona for Biden.

Works for them. They’ll get dinner party invites, and can chum around with the other members of the journolist.

Another appointment determined by the Murdochs - who hate Trump.

The Murdocks went “conservative” with Fox as a business decision, not a decision led by their political leanings. They saw a business opportunity for getting viewers turned off by the Liberal and dominate “mainstream” networks.

It worked.

But now the Murdoch’s hate the viewers that built their network and they are trying to slowly kill their own network’s conservative leaning, one step at a time.

And their base viewers are starting to hate them.

I can solidly say I'm done with Fox for good. As much as I still like Tucker, Sean and Laura they will all have to find another employer if I'm ever to watch them again.

I'm going to see if I can drop the package that includes Fox news as I will not be needing it.

Fox News IMO was in on this attempt to steal the election and even if President Trump prevails I will never turn on Fox again.
