Fox News had it called 1st last night. Why were other networks not calling it?

Ratings ... the longer they drug-out the inevitable .... their ratings will now drop. The average American is tired of the fake news and lies.

I’m pretty convinced CNN was trying to prevent Trump from giving a victory speech. Which he did anyway, and they called Wisconsin for him immediately afterward.

They didn't want Trump taking the stage as President -elect.

"Trump prematurely claiming victory as the Harris campaigned warned" is what they wanted to run with.

Maybe to maintain suspense.
Fox was calling outcomes based on polling data before any votes were counted. I realized this when they called Louisiana the moment the polls closed. CNN waited almost an hour.

Sour grapes
Didn't want to call it before Trump's victory speech. Forced him to speak while they chirped about his speech being premature. Also did not want the appearance of a called election without a Kamala concession. They gave her a total pass for abandoning her supporters and refusing to concede. Had the shoe been on the other foot, they'd have dogpiled Trump as a "poor loser" and horrible person.

So does this mean Fox News is back in good graces with the board?

Did not catch it, but I was back and forth between Fox and News nation and they were ahead of the curve for a lot of the night. They actually had N. Carolina called before AP and Stirewalt was telling people not to pay attention to Trump's mid game lead in VA that when all was said and done Harris was winning VA by 4-5% . They were pretty no nonsense last night. But early on Cuomo and Vittert along with Stirewalt were pretty even keeled about it and Cuomo was saying it was not looking good for Harris.....and he said that relatively early

He and Vittert did not seem all that torn up about it. Elizabeth Vargas was

NO. Benny Johnson called it way before. Benny was literally 20-30 minutes ahead of Fox News and other propaganda stations.
