Conservatives Turn Against Fox News Over Election Coverage, Change Channel to Newsmax
Newsweek ^ | 04 NOV 2020 | EMMA NOLAN

Conservatives and the Trump administration have railed against Fox News after the network called Arizona for Joe Biden.

While speaking on election night, Fox News Decision Desk Director Arnon Mishkin was asked about his call in Arizona and if he was 100 percent sure of his call, to which he responded by saying, "absolutely."

Fox was the first news organization to declare a winner in Arizona and make it the first red-to-blue flip on the electoral map. AP has since also called Arizona for Biden.

"It's been clear for a while that the former vice president is in the lead in Arizona and was most likely to win the state," Mishkin said. "I think we've heard from the White House is that they are expecting to get that they need just to get 61 percent of the outstanding vote and their 870,000 outstanding votes and they'll be getting that. That's not true.

I did too but neither was very good.

That said, Fox was atrocious. I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears.

Even worse, some switched to CNN and said they were more straight forward.

Bizzaro world stuff

Just the fact Donna Brazille “The Debate Cheater” was allowed to participate in the coverage should tell anyone all they need to know.

I switched between OAN and Newsmax. Newsmax was better. OAN reminded me of college kids in Poli Sci 101 class.

How tough is it to analytically view each state, based on it’s statistics alone?

Your average idiot can judge bananas, a loaf of bread, a jug of milk based on the merits of that item.

FoxNews showed that it was incapable of doing this. It could call Virginia for Biden, with 0% precincts reported, keep that call after Trump won with 98% reporting. It couldn’t make up it’s mind with Florida at 97% with a definite irreclaimable lead by Trump.

But, it had zero problem declaring other large states like California for Biden by default.

Not even pretending to be unbiased and statistical.

Integrity, much like China, once broken, is difficult to mend.

Well, if Trump loses the election, and he can get it together, I think he would be great as the center of a new communications network.

CNN wanted to hire him, remember. The media would of course try to destroy him, but he has a faithful following.

FOX was horrible. I have to pay extra to get them and they are no longer worth it.

Yes. CNN was better than Fox while the counting was still occurring. As soon as the counting basically all stopped, CNN sort of caught their breath and reverted back to their scumbag selves. But I switched from Fox to CNN pretty early on.

Now I've turned them all off.

Sadly, when they want to, CNN can deliver “just news” better than Fox, especially breaking news. It’s the talking heads that are just out there.

On election coverage, CNN is better than Fox.

OAN reminded me of college kids in Poli Sci 101 class................ Exactly! But its lay back news, no adrenaline fed hype. Its relaxing, and their reporters are all cute coeds with lots of eye appeal.
