1. This could be about dealing with panicked POTUS. nt

13. Yup, that's it.

Headquarters The Fox News decision
"Fox’s Arizona Call for Biden Flipped the Mood at Trump Headquarters
The Fox News decision left the president fuming, and his team complaining. Then he began casting aspersions on other states’ vote counts."

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/04/us/politics/trump-fox-news-arizona.html#click=https://t.co/E7SAhEoML9

Inside the East Room, the mood was upbeat as hundreds of people, including cabinet secretaries, ambassadors and former officials who have remained loyal to Mr. Trump, mingled and dined on sliders and French fries. Officials who had been pessimistic about the president’s re-election chances suddenly started to picture four more years in power.

That mirage of victory was pierced when Fox News called Arizona for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. at 11:20 p.m., with just 73 percent of the state’s vote counted. Mr. Trump and his advisers erupted at the news. If it was true that Arizona was lost, it would call into doubt on any claim of victory the president might be able to make.

Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, was also in touch with Rupert Murdoch, the Fox News owner, as the night wore on. And on Wednesday morning, Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, insisted the president would win Arizona by 30,000 votes.

17. Sliders & French Fries?

Are you shitting me? He fed them sliders and fries? And were they Freedom Fries?

[BigmanPigman]

24. He is a real class act, isn't he.

[cwydro]

27. No shit.

“Dining on” sliders and French fries?

Stuffing their faces makes more sense than “dining.” Ick.

2. Is this "normal" for Faux?

[regnaD kciN]

4. Maybe to avoid having to call the election for Biden?

[Nevilledog]

6. Seeing who draws the short straw

[SheltieLover]

7. Gawd... lol

Are they really that infantile?

And their cult members watch reruns?

[Raine]

10. Yes, they always repeat the shows from Tucker on in the evenings until they put on the early

morning news.

[SheltieLover]

19. Wow

Wash, rinse, repeat.

[joshcryer]

18. This is by no means normal for Fox News during the midst of an election.

[SheltieLover]

20. Thx

I've never indulged.

[ecstatic]

3. Lol! Fuxers will have to turn to CNN or MSNBC for updates?

Hell, even MSNBC is live, ffs!

[brewens]

5. There must be a pig lipstick shortage. :) n/t

[CentralMass]

8. One lying asshole can handle the job.

[JI7]

9. I think it's because they are getting demands from Trump on what they need to report

[Hekate]

14. Good guess. Maybe trying to avoid a rerun of Karl Rove dashing down the hall ...

...to have the awful news denied, only to have it confirmed.

[Polybius]

11. Is there anything else to report tonight?

They probably want to save money.

[LeftInTX]

12. CNN and MSNBC do this all the time

[JI7]

15. But usually not during Presidential elections when we are still waiting for results

[LeftInTX]

16. I no longer have cable, but if I would flip on one of those stations right now, they would be

showing a rerun of The Rachel Maddow Show from earlier in the evening.

There isn't much to report except the riots in Arizona.

There are no more totals released from AZ until tomorrow. GA is updates their numbers about once an hour. I have not read anything about PA numbers here on DU since this afternoon and I've been on here all day.

[JI7]

21. They repeat themselves all the time when it's a major even going on

[Totally Tunsie]

25. Actually, MSNBC and CNN are Live all evening/early a.m.

No repeats of any of their shows as they usually do each night. All the anchors have had their hours shifted to accommodate the coverage, so no one is on at their regular hour. (ex: Rachel Maddow was on at 8:00 last evening, and then BriWi.

[joshcryer]

22. CNN did it once last night for about an hour bu then they got cuomo on.

And they woke up the rest of the crew.

And now they're keeping it up.

They may take a break but tehy're relatively short

[Blue Owl]

23. Few things are more depressing

than a Tucker Carlson rerun.

[Skittles]

26. hopefully it's because they are all shitting bricks
