Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch told Jared Kushner, former President Trump’s son-in-law and a top White House adviser, that there was nothing he could do about the network’s decision to call Arizona for President Biden on election night 2020.
In an upcoming memoir, Kushner writes about election night at the White house and says he called Murdoch shortly after Fox’s Decision Desk called Arizona for Biden, a move that shocked and infuriated the Trump campaign.
Murdoch told Kushner he would look into it, Kushner wrote, and then the media mogul called him back.
“Sorry, Jared, there is nothing I can do,” Kushner quoted Murdoch as saying. “The Fox News data authority says the numbers are ironclad — he says it won’t be close.”

You are right about Carlson and Ingraham. Ingraham is a closet Never Trumper. I like to think Carlson has seen the light. I know FNC shut down any stolen election talk for months after the steal. To this day it is STRONGLY discouraged. The Murdoch kids and Ryan see to that it remains a “fringe” theory not to be taken seriously.

Yep. Same here. With only the central time zone part of the state still out, Trump had a half a million vote lead. That part of the Panhandle is the most conservative part of Florida, yet they refused to call it. I kept telling my Wife that they were going to steal it.
