It was one of the most decisive moments in recent history for Fox News. And it has proven to be one of its most controversial.There has been rampant speculation about who made the call, which Arizonans testify was made while voters were still in line in an extraordinarily tight race.Arizona Governor Doug Ducey himself castigated the network for making the early call.“It’s far too early to call the election in Arizona,” Ducey wrote. “Election Day votes are not fully reported, and we haven’t even started to count early ballots dropped off at the polls. In AZ, we protected Election Day. Let’s count the votes —
Arizona has an ongoing audit of 2020 election results. The results were completed and were supposed to be released immediately. That was two weeks ago and no word yet. What's up with that?

When Fox called Arizona early, it provided cover for the stunts pulled in Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania to steal the election for Dementia Jo.

Except for watching an episode of Tucker just a handful of times and then on the internet, Fox has been dead to me. Some of the Fox Nation stuff would be interesting but I refuse to watch. As far as the Arizona report….I hope we are not witnessing another John Durham slow roll.

Don't believe a g*******d word of it. The very fact that you are seeing it in print means (a) it has been 'allowed' (b) there is an ulterior motive. Who forced Rupert Murdoch's hand is what we should know. And never will.

As has been argued in the past, Presidential election results should not be released until the polls close in all States. Results from early voting Eastern States can influence voters in later voting Western States. We wait 4 years, we can wait until the next day for the winner to be announced.
And exit polls ? We have a secret ballot, why do people rush to tell how they voted?

Ah the Murdoch's with King Rupert the Faithless making the call. I can believe it. The traitorous GOPe and their corporate benefactors hated and still hate President Trump and all of those who support him. The fix was in.
Rich evil old men. Death comes even for the rich and powerful, and then the judgement that no amount of insincere charity can dilute.

Still thrashing around looking for "truth" that isn't going to come. Rupert Murdoch may be a "right wing" media mogul, but he's part of that bigger club that includes the UNIPARTY. He peddles his "right wing" news and commentary to those uninterested in CNBC and MSNBC's viewpoints. It's his business, not necessarily his conviction. "F— him" is what one might expect from one of the players in Dump Trump at a key moment.
If this election was "fixed", it was fixed already. Murdoch was only sticking the shiv in a bit further.

What is interesting is that they delayed calling Florida even though FL vote was fully tabulated.

I don't know if I believe this. I, too, am disgusted by what FOX did on election night. However, Michael Wolff is a known, despicable liar. If you will remember, he wrote in his Anti-Trump book that Trump was having an affair with Nikki Haley. At the time, even the NY Times said he was making up details about Trump. Also, having also been born in Paterson, NJ, I know first hand what a liar he is. I happened to be (believe it or not) best friends with someone who was brainwashed at Indiana University and became part of the SLA, the terrorist group that kidnapped Patty Hearst. This person, Angela, was the sweetest, prettiest most talented, smartest person you could have ever known. Michael Wolff, at the time wrote the most disgusting piece about Angela, which was an entire article full of falsehoods. Yes, did Angela turn out to be a terrorist, of course. It is a good example of what happens in these college institutions that indoctrinate rather than educate. But, as far as Michael Wolff is concerned, he is the ultimate left wing liar.

Michael Wolff's book is a bucket of lies and BS. I have been seeing tidbits dribbled out by CNN and the Hill for over a week now, and it is nothing but unsourced salacious gossip so weak that even something like the Daily Mail wouldn't print it.
People can find this trash themselves if they want to check it out, but this author is nothing but a Trump bashing tabloidist at best.

What a horribly written shaggy dog article. The lede was buried all the way at the bottom. Intentionally.
It was Rupert Murdoch. Saved you a click.

The Business Insider and Michael Wolf have zero credibility on anything they say. Wolf has admitted his writings are fiction. We did not need the admission. The Business Insider releases article after article daily on Yahoo, all headlined with leftist lies about Trump. Both of these should be banned from any platform for lying, libel, and slander.

I don't believe this, either. I was watching when FOXNews called AZ, and Bill Hemmer was at the map, looking at AZ when the state switched to blue for Biden. He seemed genuinely surprised, and I don't think he was acting. I believe that the decision desk guru, Arnod Mishkin, known demonrat, was a large part of the conspiracy to steal the election. This AZ call was the signal for the steal to begin in those contested states.
Pres. Donald Trump was very good for FOXNews' ratings, and I don't think Rupert Murdoch would cut off his nose for a stupid early call for Biden in AZ.

Fox made a grossly incorrect election night call that democrats were going to gain at least 5 House seats. Polls in many Western states were still open at the time of the call.

#16 I was watching Newsmax on Thursday evening and Greg Kelly had on John Solomon and introduced him as a Newsmax contributor. I guess Fox News decided to cut ties with Solomon who was a big part of the tick-tock nonsense that never came to fruition

The Murdochs are evil Trump haters, top to bottom. This is why I stopped watching Fox, which was on all the time in our household for the previous 15 years, and listened on Sat radio in the car when traveling. I haven't turned on Fox TV even once since mid Oct 2020, and intend to never watch it again.

#1 and #16 - IIRC, they still don't have the passwords for the Dominion equipment and can't issue a report without it

Fox is complicit with the Democrats. This article is mostly pablum. Never ever watch Fox. Let them get State Department and UN funding like CNN does.

I fully expect Arizona to tell us any minute that they recounted the votes and Biden won by a landslide.

Right after the election, a northern California Jewish newspaper had a page one story about a liberal, Jewish Democrat who was on Fox's Election Desk. This article lauded the man for his courage to make the controversial Arizona call. He took full credit for it, too, as I recall. Not a word about Rupert Murdoch.
Can't remember the man's name, but maybe some of you sleuths can find it.
