Donald Trump was reportedly livid with Fox News on Tuesday night, after the conservative news network declared Joe Biden the winner of Arizona.
Fox News was the first major outlet to make the call, as other networks have remained cautious about projecting Biden's victory in the historically red state. Many members of the Trump campaign expressed criticism of Fox News' early call; however, it seems no one was as upset as the president.
According to Vanity Fair, POTUS was so infuriated by the projection that he phoned Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch to scream his demands for a retraction. A source told the publication that Murdoch ultimately refused, which didn't sit well with some of the network's pro-Trump hosts.
"We called it long before MSNBC!" an anonymous Fox News staffer told Vanity Fair. "We were so worried about being seen as pro-Trump that we bent over backwards."

Vanity Fair reported that Trump had phoned Murdoch, who predicted a Biden 2020 victory, to scream about the network's polls that showed him trailing his Democratic opponent.
"They had a humongous blowup. Trump yelled that Fox’s coverage is unfair and the polling is fake," the source claimed. "Rupert defended the network’s standards and polling."

Yahoo News is not news.
I call bullsh!t. Rupert is no longer involved in Fox News operations.
Election is over, don’t vote anyomore..THAT is the message when they call the election over. Message sent, message received.
Its interesting a lot of us were saying win by enough and the Dems cant steal it. Boy were they laughing at us! It hasn’t mattered one bit how far ahead Trump was in these corrupt states, they brought in what was needed.
That’s what I thought.
Ah. So, the source of the “report” is Vanity Fair, not Faux News.
The Commie Chinese cant make election calls for
Murdoch Chicom outlet ?
Odd how ABC pulled back there AZ call but Chinese owned Foreigner
Murdoch keeps his Chinese keepers happy .
How much was Rupert , Ryan , The Dem media media conglomerates, Apple , Goggle were losing in before Chinese markets before they called AZ for Biden
Rupert doesnt own Foxnews. Story is bull$hit!
You can tell it’s a lie from the word “scream.”
“reportedly”
which makes this Fox piece a bad joke:
3 Nov: Fox News: New York Times deletes tweet after claiming ‘role of declaring the winner’ falls on the media

Letting out one’s emotions is healthy. You can only play so much golf.
Ron De Santis on Hannity calling out FakeNewsMSM for not calling Florida by 8.30pm, but calling States for Biden early etc.
what’s Fox’s excuse for that?
De Santis also called out fraud in Wisconsin, elsewhere.
FNC is not a conservative news network, and their decision desk is being run by a partisan Democrat.
Morloch senior has a 39% stake in the parent company Fox Corporation. He is the chairman of FC and his son, Lachlan Morloch is CEO. Interestingly enough, FC is incorporated in Delaware. hmmm. He has a history of meddling in elections
No. Rupert turned over management to his sons but their personal relationship goes back decades. He would very likely have Rupert’s cell number.
#StolenElectionChinaWhoreNotMyPresident
Payback will be a bitch for the next 4 years . . .
Rupert is most likely in the same state of mind as Biden...elderly dementia.
He doesn’t know or care what the hell is going on.
More fake news.
