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.

OAN is good too.
You’re kidding? Right? If the Dems. take the White House there won’t be another fair election again and probably no Republican president again.
Within a month of Biden being inaugurated they will kick him to the curb. Harris was designated the next president. I’ll bet Chris Wray will give Biden an alternative, bow out for health reasons or everything in Hunter’s laptop is made public.
Good job Paul Ryan!
Chris Wallace is a joke. With the exception of Wallace, Juan, and Brazile who are partisans (actually I thought Brazile was the most balanced of the three), I thought the Fox Talking Heads were ok...not great, but ok. Fox Business was superior.
One final note: often, senior management and employees don't agree, and in all honesty and fairness the employees have a duty to the employer. The beef should be with Fox management, not the readers.
I have NewsMax on my FUBO.
I put NewsMax on from the get go. Also was looking at LS’s coverage.
“It is the media that put Biden in office.”
Not Biden...Harris.
Darkness does not win...check the last chapter ;)
Dagen McDowell, Tucker Carlson are standouts. Harris Faulkner, Bret Baier still manage to keep their middle ground perspectives. imho.
I noticed that too on election night. They would call states for Biden IMMEDIATELY after the polls closed, add those states electoral votes to Biden's overall tally, even if the numbers started coming in and Trump was leading in the early count (for example, New Mexico and Maine were INSTANTLY awarded to Biden, though the early data coming in had Trump ahead in both states. Several states were instantly awarded to "Biden" when they had tallied ZERO votes thus far, so they must have relied entirely on exit polls to project a state like Oregon as "Biden" when they didn't have data from a single vote cast)
Florida was listed as "undecided" and "Too close to call" for like six or seven HOURS after the polls closed there, despite the fact that Trump was CLEARLY winning in that state the ENTIRE time, and by a margin making it virtually impossible for Biden to overcome. They continues to list Florida as unknown & up for grabs when 96-98% of the totals had been counted and Trump was ahead by like 400,000 votes. Saying it was "too close to call" at that point was ridiculous, there was no way Biden was going to gain a half million votes just from the remaining 2% of the ballots left to count. But they STILL kept FL grayed out like 2 hours AFTER they had 98% of the votes recorded there.
The overall effect of immediately throwing all the states in the "Biden" column on election night kept Biden way ahead in the electoral count on election night (something like 209 for Biden vs. 118 for Trump), despite the fact the actual way each state was trending overall was almost identical to 2016, with the exception of Arizona.
And you're right, ironically I think CNN's election night coverage and state projections were more 'fair and balanced' than Fox's coverage.
AZ has an enormous education platform...some call it Berkeley on The Desert - There is a large number of California expats who have brought their liberal problems with them. Like Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, for some reason the United States Constitution seems inconsequential...with the exception of families who ranch; children who grow up in 4-H; keep the Lord’s Day and teachers who still teach...regardless.

Someone has to tell the Pillow Guy” to pull his advertising from Fox
Pluto TV, free streaming. Channel 236.
Exactly so.
Americans have prided themselves on clean elections forever. It's tough to let go of long held beliefs.
Necessary, but tough.
Boycott FNN, just as we brought cross dresser Drudge down. Newsmax is very good.
I’ll paraphrase Reagan here: I didn’t leave Fox, Fox left me.
Except for Tucker, Laura, Hannity, and a couple others, they’ve been assimilated into the Leftist Borg Collective.
I switched back and forth between OANN, Newsmax (my new favorite), and Fox.
It is what it is.
