Fox long Biden "ambition", trump angrily called Murdoch to withdraw the manuscript

At 12:30 a.m. local time on the 4th, Fox News of the United States took the lead in announcing the results of the vote counting of Arizona, the key "battlefield state": that state would be taken in by Biden. At this time, shortly after the end of the vote in Arizona, the associated press, CNN and other media did not express their views on the state's election.The prediction cheered Democratic supporters and angered Trump's aides, as well as trump himself. According to vanity fair on the 4th, a source said that trump had been hit by the incident and called Fox's boss Murdoch in person to ask him to order Fox News to withdraw the above report.However, Murdoch, one of Trump's most influential supporters and the founder of the global media empire, refused.
Fox News reports first, Biden wins ArizonaAs the first American media to predict that Biden, the Democratic candidate, won over Arizona, fox news had "rough waters" for a time.Arnon Mishkin, a well-known management and pollster consultant in the United States, has been head of Fox News since 2008. He was behind the story. "New York Times" in the report on the 4th, Mishkin admitted that because of this report, he was under pressure from the trump campaign team, but did not yield."We're not wrong. The president really can't win Arizona." Mishkin is adamant that the trump campaign's insistence that they can win in the state is totally wrong.The prediction cheered supporters of Democratic candidate Biden and angered president Trump's aides, even trump himself. On the morning of the 4th, when he appeared at the White House, he contemptuously called Mishkin "the gentleman who said that.".Another insider disclosed to vanity fair that trump himself was completely infuriated after fox made the prediction. In the early morning of the same day, Mr. Murdoch, a longtime friend of trump and boss of Fox News, called to ask fox to withdraw relevant reports.But surprisingly, Murdoch refused to order his staff to withdraw their forecast of the results of the Arizona election.
Sam Nunberg, a former political adviser to trump, accused Fox of "suppressing voters" and deliberately preventing trump supporters from voting. He told Vanity Fair on the 4th that "Fox News failed to perform its duty in journalism last night and suppressed the voters. It is necessary to make changes, or there will be significant consequences." And named Chris Wallace.Jason Miller, chief strategist of the trump campaign, also tweeted that Fox's prediction had taken him by surprise and that other media should not follow suit. "Arizona still has more than a million votes not counted - we urge voters to vote on election day, but now Fox News is trying to nullify their votes," he wroteAccording to Fox News real-time statistics, as of 7:00 a.m. Eastern time on the 5th, Arizona had counted 88% of the votes. Biden's support rate reached 50.5%, 2.4 percentage points ahead of trump (48.1%). There are 11 electoral votes in Arizona. Biden won 264 electoral votes, compared with 214 for trump.It is worth mentioning that, except Fox News, NPR and the Wall Street Journal, other US media are very cautious in predicting the election results. So far, the New York Times, the associated press, CNN and other media have not expressed their views on the state's election, and have not included the electoral votes of Arizona in the vote results. Real time results showed that Biden won 253 electoral votes, compared with 213 for trump.

As a billionaire, Murdoch has created a "global media empire", including Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the times.Although Fox News and other media have been doing their best to help trump re-election, Murdoch himself seems to lose confidence in trump. In October, the daily beast of the United States reported that several close friends of Murdoch said that in fact, Murdoch himself was convinced that Biden would knock down trump in the US election on November 3.
