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.

Trump does not and will not let this election get stolen from him. Frankly, I don’t think that the whatever % of Americans who adore him will allow it either.

I'm tired and depressed this morning. I don't doubt that President Trump will fight but he has a lot arrayed against him. I did not want this election to rip our country apart nor to have his second term marred by claims of illegitimacy (no matter how false).

Fox calling states for Biden with 55% of the vote, but they wouldn’t call Florida for Trump with 98% of the vote.

Trump up 150k in Virginia yet Fox news calls it for Biden — why?

it appears Chris Wallace got demoted and shoved to the sidelines.

He served his purpose - make sure the first debate was a 2-on-1 affair.

The move to the left by Faux Snooze is complete! Roger Ailes is turning in his grave. Look for Tucker to move on when his contract is up.

Noticed while watching Newsmax all of the “conservative” rejects from the late, great Foxnews, are now at Newsmax.

I have confidence that Trump wont roll over on this. Hopefully, even if he eventually loses in the end, we get REAL election reform and stop democrat cheating once and for all.

I’m still wondering why FOX called Virginia for Biden right after the polls closed and only 1 percent counted with Trump in the lead.

How did that happen, FOX?

“Tucker, Hannity and few others.”

If Harris wins, those guys, et al., will reside in re-education camps soon.

We’ve already been thru “claims of illegitimacy” BS in 2000 with “selected not elected”.

I turned off FOX and went to NewsMax. I’ll watch Tucker, but am swearing off the rest of FOX.

Fox News' Chris Wallace "moderated" the Trump/Biden debate.....but when Nancy Pelosi called
the vote for Trump's impeachment, Wallace proclaimed, “I have to say I can feel goosebumps.”

========================================

Biden’s got himself a new running mate….....cackle.
