Bret Baier wanted Fox News to retract its early call of Arizona for Biden, book alleges

JTN:

Fox News anchor Bret Baier wanted the network to pull its early call of Arizona for Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election amid criticism from the Trump campaign, a new book alleges.

In “The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021,” authors Peter Baker and Susan Glasser say that Baier urged the network to back off of its electoral call and cited an email he wrote to a network executive.

“‘The Trump campaign was really pissed,’ he wrote in an email to Jay Wallace, the president and executive editor at Fox,” the book reads, per Business Insider. “This situation is getting uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable. I keep having to defend this on air.”

Fox’s Decision Desk called the state for Biden early in the night, prompting outrage from the Trump campaign, which insisted that the former president would triumph in the state once all of the mail-in ballots were tallied. more

  1. It was Frank Luntz, Kevin McCarthy\’s room mate and all around piece of liberal shit, that called AZ almost immediately for the Cheaters. And Baier went right along with it. In fact he was giddy with excitement. Luntz got fired for it. But that was the day FOX showed their true colors.

  2. Fox embarrassed themselves.
    The minute they realized it would be DAYS before Arizona ITSELF would finish counting and call the race they should have retracted it as a matter of past precedent.

    In 2000, Florida was called for Al Gore BEFORE the Panhandle’s polls had CLOSED!
    The networks RETRACTED their call for Gore.
    At 2:19 AM EST, the networks called Florida for George HW Bush.
    They retracted that the next morning.

    Fuck you Fox you fucked it up bigtime and lost a whole lot of goodwill and trust from the American people.

  3. ^^^^^ That is a good video. And illustrates perfectly why sooner or later there will be a civil war. There’s just no getting around an opponent that feels they are that morally superior to you and will do anything, ANYTHING, to stay in power.
    For example, Letitia James is suing Trump again. Why Trump hasn’t legally done something about this woman is beyond me. Sue the bitch in civil court and take everything she owns. We need to take the gloves off. There’s a war going on and we are not participating.
