**Fox News preparing to call it for Biden tonight**

[Wanderlust988]

Just saw this on TPM. Fox News is prepping to call NV for Biden should it go like they expect. They have already called AZ for Biden. They will be the first network to declare Joseph R. Biden the 46th President of the United States!

[Dem2]

1. Lol

Fitting. They may be as tired of his act as anybody.

I just hope they know what they're doing when they do so.

[VMA131Marine]

2. You knew there was going to be a downfall parody

[russiamommy]

20. That's great!

[better]

21. We built a diverse coalition of white people in militias and white people NOT in militias. LOL! nt

[Hassin Bin Sober]

28. .

[montana_hazeleyes]

22. Excellent!

[Hugin]

27. +1

[Wounded Bear]

48. Do we have to tell Putin?

[COL Mustard]

81. Best Line In The Clip!!!

[paleotn]

52. Of course!!!!!!

Sure that's a parody?

[BlueJac]

54. Awesome, quite funny!

[Iggo]

57. Don't cry, Jared.

That one got me.

[Rhiannon12866]

61. Oh, thanks! These are always good!

[forgotmylogin]

77. I'm getting a "battered spouse has quietly had enough" sort of vibe from Fox.

From the news ranks - apart from the Tucker/Hannity basket.

(Forgive me if that's tasteless.)

[smb]

86. "If I've Already Infected You With COVID Please Step Outside." LOL

[grantcart]

93. This has to be its own OP

[FailureToCommunicate]

103. Yes!

[Skittles]

95. PRICELESS

[634-5789]

3. Waiting for that call, from a network or CNN, MSNBC....

[Rebl2]

58. Same here

I don’t trust FOX no matter what.

[soothsayer]

4. But now nv not releasing some numbers until the morning?

Come on, someone get us to 270 already

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

23. NV changed the time to 9pm EST tonight... because of the 'interest'. n/t

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

29. Sorry, there was an update about 10 minutes ago... still on for tomorrow. n/t

[Locrian]

33. wait ..what?

so NV is or isnt counting till tomorrow? how can fox call it if its tomorrow?

[StevieM]

59. They can't. I think Fox was also counting on Nevada coming in tonight.

But Nevada has now said that they will be announcing results around 12 PM tomorrow.

Arizona may have their final numbers released tonight, but that is not certain. Still, enough votes may be in, and the margin may be wide enough, that Biden will be called the winner in Arizona by all networks.

[Hoyt]

5. They must be ticked at trump's recent criticism. Or attempt at fair and

balanced news.

[PatSeg]

38. Yeah

Trump was only good to Fox when they kissed his ass 24/7. Now he treats them like they are the enemy. Calling the race for Biden must bring them some satisfaction. They apparently realized that eventually, Trump will throw everyone under the bus, no exceptions.

Someone should have warned Trump not to piss off Fox. They are far more powerful than he is and they'll still be there once he is gone.

[wnylib]

65. With Trump, everyone eventually

becomes "the enemy."

[PatSeg]

67. Its in his DNA

I don't think he can help himself. He seems to be programmed to fail over and over again.

[wnylib]

76. He's never grown up. He is perpetually

trying to please a harsh, critical, uncaring daddy. When someone doesn't please him, he imitates with them how daddy treated him growing up. "See, daddy? I know how to handle this." Also explains his adoration of the world's dictator thugs and his need for them to like him.

So pathetic.

[ShazzieB]

100. You're so right.

I think you absolutely nailed it!

[smb]

88. Being The Perpetually-Indignant Opposition Is Better For Ratings, Anyway nt

[PatSeg]

89. That's a good point

They're moving into a post Trump era and have to reconfigure their agenda anyway.

[captain queeg]

6. Interesting. Time to leave the sinking ship.

[Totally Tunsie]

104. Yup.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Please, let it happen.

Better yet, make Shovelface choke the words out.

[3catwoman3]

63. I never watch Fox. Which one is...

...Shovelface?

[johnnyfins]

75. Hannity? Ed Schultz used to call him "Slant Head"

[TheCowsCameHome]

99. Hannity. Perfect description.

[Thekaspervote]

8. Whoa Nellie!! Thank the gods. Wonder what kind of fit this will evoke from the dotard?!

[Windy City Charlie]

9. Just in time

Just in time for the 6:30 p.m. National News

[dameatball]

10. Rupert! Don't answer the phone!

[elleng]

11. And SOMEONE will be PISSED!

Imagine hat tips for murdoch???

[PirateRo]

12. Ohhh, they must be as tired of that slag as we are...

I don’t think it will help viewership.

[EarthFirst]

13. Oh; please let this come to pass!

He may have his final conniption and keel right over...

[chriscan64]

14. I won't watch it or believe it until confirmed by reliable sources.

But it is some small comfort to have their audience taste defeat.

[theglammistress]

15. I hope it happens during Hannity

I have been reading these boards nonstop since 6 a.m. yesterday. I have held my powder, tongue and faith and knew we would win. To get the call by FOX during Hannity would be so damn delicious.

[lambchopp59]

64. Oh, my...

Watching the Hannitary Napkin create parody of himself beyond his already moronic facade? I'd pay a dollar.
Doubly delicious to tune in if Tantrum Trumpy were to call in whining the next few nights.
Almost makes me wish I had television services.

[DeminPennswoods]

16. Ironic and fitting

nt

[jaxexpat]

17. The deafening noise of the worm turning was heard across the galaxy.

[Trumpocalypse]

18. Link?

[NCDem47]

19. They want a Biden win

Theory is, they can Further ramp up the Dem hate and be home to frustrated Republicans. More eyeballs. More online engagement. More ratings. More $$$.

[honest.abe]

24. Yes! My champagne is chilling!

[Mr. Sparkle]

25. I bet all day they wished they could take back Az for Biden. Their fans are going ape shit over it.

on Freeperville, they are boycotting fox and looking for new media sources.

[better]

26. Not surprising, and if you ask me, this is their preferred outcome.

Fox is not so much pro-Republican as they are ANTI-democrat. I think they'd rather have a competent Democratic administration to rail against than an incompetent Republican one to try to defend.

I'm really hoping it does get called for Biden tonight. My best friend's mother, who was also like a second mother to me, passed this morning, and it would be a fitting tribute to her for Biden to win on the same day.

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. Kind of like gun and ammo stocks go up

when a Democrat gets elected. I bet NRA membership goes up too, because even though it's never happened, half the US is afraid their guns will be taken away.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/gun-stocks-gain-implying-a-trump-loss-may-be-anticipated-11604423277

"Gun stocks gain, implying a Trump loss may be anticipated"

[Traildogbob]

41. Practice shots

I live in rural WNC half way up a mountain, facing another mountain adjacent the valley between us. Lots of shooting on weekends, but today As I worked outside listening to Sirius XM progressive radio, each time a state called Biden a winner, there were semi automatic blasts from multiple directions around the Mountain sides. I would just shout out,”Shoot them damn liberals”. I own guns, but have no idea how they pay for all the ammo. Especially this last few years, but today sounded like Jungles in Vietnam Nam. From experience.

[onetexan]

90. OK, make Beto the Homeland Security secretary and brand the NRA as a domestic terrorist organization

and shut them down.

[TexasBushwhacker]

97. The NRA may dissolve on it's own

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/08/07/nra-national-rifle-association-new-york-lawsuit-letitia-james-column/3312972001/

As for Beto, I'd really like to see him involved in drug law reform. It's an issue he's passionate about. He even co-wrote a book ”Dealing Death and Drugs: The Big Business of Dope in the U.S. and Mexico".

[joshcryer]

31. FOX News is good at calling elections.

It's how they've taken so many. They know the game really well. Get the election locked. Move on, take power, move on, demoralize the enemy, etc. They don't fuck around, when the numbers are as they are, it's done.

[OMGWTF]

66. IIRC GWB's cousin was working the desk at Fux in FL and was the first to call the election for him

What a coinkidink!

[yardwork]

32. Is AZ real? I keep reading that they overestimated or something.

Please tell me we have AZ.

[Wounded Bear]

49. MSNBC keeps holding off on AZ call...

[TwilightZone]

56. There was an error in reporting by a vendor.

It was thought they were at 98% reporting, but it was actually 86%. That's where the confusion came from and why there are still outstanding ballots. Based on where the ballots are from and when they were returned, still looks like a Biden win there.

[yardwork]

60. Good to hear.

[TimeToGo]

34. Fine by me

But I keep hearing that NV will be tomorrow not tonight. So . . .

[QED]

35. Suddenly, I have something in my eyes.

I am so relieved - and happy. Our long national nightmare is *almost* over.

[cwydro]

43. Please don't believe what you read on DU or on Fox.

So much nonsense out here.

I want it to be true, but wait for a REPUTABLE source.

[Doodley]

36. Thank God that Fox isn't going along with Trump's attempt to become dictator. This is a big deal!

[yaesu]

37. it would be like a cherry on the tRump retirement cake. nt

[cwydro]

39. Hmm... think I'll wait till I believe anything Fox says.

Or a newbie poster...Im going to wait till I hear from reputable sources.

If you're right, then a thousand apologies.

[calclar]

40. SCHADENFREUDE

[Miigwech]

42. Oh Joy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Demsrule86]

44. You got a link ...can't find it.

[mtnsnake]

45. Too fun!! Trump must REALLY have pissed off Murdoch with his recent whiny phone calls to him

where he tried to get Murdoch to put Arizona back on the table.

[LAS14]

46. They called Arizona first, or maybe 2nd after AP, but I think first. nt

[mnmoderatedem]

47. if NV is not going to report until tomorrow

I don't see how you can call it tonight. May be a heavy lean, but if there is no new news tonight, you may be risking a Dewey Defeats Truman, however unlikely.

Personally I'd rather they wait. Let the MAGATs twist in the wind a little longer.

[ffr]

50. It's a safe bet on NV. I've been crunching the numbers from the SoS this AM

and comparing them to various scenarios. Biden has a slim lead in the early election day count, but it doesn't take into account mail-ins for Washoe and Clark counties, the two heaviest democratic counties in the state. Here are the numbers they show based on registration from 11/4 this AM:

Total votes: 1,274887
Dems: 454,078
Reps: 406,656
Other: 285,139
https://www.nvsos.gov/sos/home/showdocument?id=9054

You have to make some assumptions, but if you apply these ratios to the remaining count in already democratic counties, it's easy to infer that the vote ratios will only help Biden. Formality is about all that remains.

[Blue_true]

51. "You too Brutus?", says the fallen emperor. nt

[nsd]

53. Georgia might steal Nevada's thunder.

Along with Pennsylvania, it's a race to see who finishes first.

[Iggo]

80. It's a race to see who finishes first!

[TexasBushwhacker]

55. Trump's head

[infullview]

62. Do you think Trump will fail to see the irony in this?

[My Pet Orangutan]

74. iron-or-E is Trumps strong suit

He scoffs the E every time

[thenelm1]

68. Incoming!!! Heads down!

If this turns out to be true, the irony will be delicious. Not to mention the likely response from the orange one himself.

[iluvtennis]

69. Wow, Fox News - serioulsy? nt

[whopis01]

101. They have been quicker to call states for Biden than CNN

Looking on other boards I see tons of Republicans swearing that they will never watch Fox News again. They are furious that Fox is declaring Trump the winner.

[yuiyoshida]

70. oh that's gonna piss off the

Donald. Good.

[rso]

71. Fox

There’s a huge difference between Fox news division and the Trump sycophants in the opinion side of FOX. Guess the news division is prevailing.

[COL Mustard]

72. I Hope It Burns

When they have to admit it!!!

[yellowcanine]

73. Sounds like they really want to be first and a big FU to DT

And to Karl Rove (Ohio 2012) - my all time favorite Fox News moment.

[relayerbob]

84. That was priceless

We sorat accidentally flipped over to them, just to see what they were doing after MSNBC called it, and just in time to watch ROve's complete meltdown! It was hilarious

[yellowcanine]

85. Yep, particularly when Megyn Kelly asked him if this was "some Republican thing" (don't remember

the exact wording). And then they took that little walk into the bowels of the building to have the nerdy guy explain things to Karl. Yes it was priceless.

[relayerbob]

87. Yeah, she was laughing at him and mocking him mercilessly

[Smackdown2019]

78. Fireworks time

Second thought, better not shot off my fireworks. I am in a trump county that voted 4500 trump to 850 for Biden. But sure does make my day that we been winning all day!

[oldsoftie]

79. Well then, it wont be posted here! Fox!

[KentuckyWoman]

82. Color me skeptical.

[bucolic_frolic]

83. LIBERATE THE WHITE HOUSE!

[CatLady78]

92. Tucker Carlson must be feeling extra constipated.nt

[grantcart]

94. Link? Mot seeing it at TPM

[jimlup]

96. I don't buy it... it is FAUX

is it a false flag or some other swindle so that they can steal it back?

[BobTheSubgenius]

102. It does seem like an unlikely thing for them to do.

But I don't see what they gain by doing so.

[Catherine Vincent]

98. Well, they haven't yet.

The night is still young?

[USALiberal]

105. Self delete

[onenote]

106. 90 minutes until this becomes another false rumor
