Of all people, Silver. So you know, the steal is real.

Nate Silver Wants AP and Fox News to Retract Calling Arizona for Biden

By Daniel Villarreal, Newsweek, November 5, 2020″:

Nate Silver, the founder and editor-in-chief of the data journalism site FiveThirtyEight, has said that the Associated Press and Fox News should retract their call of Arizona for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

“I don’t know, I guess I’d say that Biden will win Arizona if you forced me to pick, but I sure as heck don’t think the state should have been called by anyone, and I think the calls that were previously made should be retracted now,” Silver wrote in his website’s blog.

His reasoning involves the existence of an estimated 450,000 mail-in ballots that, according to party registration, are 23 percent Democratic, 44 percent Republican and 33 percent independent or other parties.

As such, Silver says, “Trump would need to win those votes by 21 points to overtake Biden’s current 93,000-vote lead.” He thinks it’s possible that the votes could help Trump win the state.

He adds that he assumes Fox News and the AP have both “put more work into looking into this than I have…. but you never know, and you will get incorrect calls occasionally.”

“Overall, I’d say this is likely Biden,” he concluded, “but I don’t think the state should have been called yet.”

Early Wednesday morning, Republican Arizona Governor Doug Ducey wrote in a tweet, “It’s far too early to call the election in Arizona…. We haven’t even started to count early ballots dropped off at the polls…. Let’s count the votes—all the votes—before making declarations.”

Shortly after Fox News called Arizona for Biden, Jason Miller, senior adviser of President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, wrote on Twitter, “WAY too soon to be calling Arizona. We believe over 2/3 of those outstanding Election Day voters are going to be for Trump. Can’t believe Fox was so anxious to pull the trigger here after taking so long to call Florida.”

This implies that anyone cares what Fox “News” or the AP think.

Just get the vote done, accurately and legally. All that matters are the results – if they are correct.

Fox news can go fox itself.

1 yr have passed since I decided to resign from my last job and I never felt so good in my life… I began freelancing at home, for a business I stumbled upon over net , For a couple hrs per day, and that I make considerably more than that I did in my last job… My past month pay-check was for 9000 bucks… Awesome thing about this job is that I have more free time for my nearest and dearest . Look at it, what it’s about… special49.com

Fox News Circles The Wagons and Fails – Guy Benson Accidentally Exposes Scheme: Contracted Fox News Pollster is also Fox News Decision Desk Narrator…
Posted on November 4, 2020
By sundance

Fox News is currently engaged in full damage control after they exposed themselves with manipulative election coverage and destroyed their credibility in the most brutal fashion imaginable.

The pollster paid by Fox News to predict election outcomes, is a key part of the crew that calls the results on election night. Think about that.

Think about the conflict, the purposeful and brutally obvious conflict, that would exist in using the same person to predict elections and then report on the results of that election.

Obviously a person performing both tasks, predicting & reporting on outcomes, is going to have a self-interest in affirming their predictions; after all, that’s how they are paid.

Daron Shaw is the establishment “republican” pollster behind Shaw and Associates. We have pointed out issues with Shaw in the past as we deconstructed his poll outcomes.
(It showed in their reporting. Look at who is laughing with Daron.)

I can’t believe Fox News Channel called Arizona for Biten almost immediately and they can’t stop blaring a fake blue 264 symbol in our face every second of every day.
Fox News Channel needs to unload the sickening coward and failure Chris Wallace, who is a malign and malignant influence over the whole culture and institution in the same way Anderson Cooper bullies and poisons everything and everyone at CNN into submission.
