Former Fox News political editor Chris Stirewalt recounted the “terrible feeling of humiliation” over getting fired by the network after he defended the Fox News decision desk’s early but accurate election night call for President Joe Biden to win Arizona, adding that it was “very challenging” to tell his kids he was suddenly kicked to the curb.

[Night Hides Not]

I just love these "schadenfreude" stories to start my day.

Chris still doesn't get it, the calling of the race in Arizona so early. He's the reason, or a major factor, in my greatly diminished viewing time of Fox News.

"... early but accurate ..."

I stopped reading there.

[rb22982]

Yeah, he calls AZ immediately even though the final win was a hair but left states Trump wins by 10%+ open for hours.

[Ann Archy]

He is punchable.

He also called for an increase in the number of Pelosi House members; they lost 16 seats.

I’m sure Piggy Stirewalt wasn’t trying to hurt Trump & MAGA.

[SmokingJoe]

So how many millions of dollars did Soros give ya to commit fraud, Mister Stirewalt?

Chris the piggy...Establishment anti Trumper....

...but he was fired due to costing FoxNes ratings and money.

1. Stirewalt did NOT make the call...it was made for him by Murdoch bros. Stirewalt was just the obedient messenger and eventual fall guy.

2. It did NOT matter WHEN the call was made - the Dominion fix was in.

3. FOX was a willing participant and knew the outcome.

[rb22982]

Good point

[healy61]

Not a single minute in this house.

[Maskot]

Same here. Not one second of faux news in this house since the fraudulent election.

[cicero2k]

There’s a reason that this message is published now. Damage control. Fox injured itself and the entire cable media industry, irreparably. The AZ audit is coming soon as confirmation that viewers are not coming back.

[Wilderness Conservative]

He should feel a noose.

[WWG1WWA]

I had Fox on when he said that. I looked at the time and we had just under 3 hours of more voting to go in the west.
