Chris Stirewalt lost his job at Fox News. But he knows he was right

[iemanja]

For a guy who made a controversial election-night call and then lost his treasured role with what he has called “the best decision desk in the news business,” Chris Stir
ewalt appears to have no regrets.

He was the first to call Arizona for Biden.

That the Arizona call freaked out Trump World was obvious; having such a verdict, especially coming from his usually dependable cheerleading squad at Fox News, was devastating. The call made it immeasurably harder to put forth the idea that Trump ultimately would prevail, and harder to even pretend that he would. Of course, as we know all too well, that didn’t stop him.

The Jan. 6 hearing was horrifying. It also gave me hope.
Trump’s anger reportedly prompted his team’s efforts to lobby Fox head honcho Rupert Murdoch to retract the call. And there were even plenty of nonpartisan experts who second-guessed the Fox News decision as having been made too early.

Fox then fired Stirewalt.

Murdoch had told colleagues that even though the Arizona call was correct, he thought it was premature and poorly handled — and had hurt the network’s standing with Trump’s most ardent fans by convincing them that Fox was out to get him.

Fox doesn't even make a secret about their modus operandi being to promote Trump. They reshuffled their entire decision making desk to appease the orange orangutan and his lickspittle.

I missed Stirewalt's testimony this morning. How was it?

[we can do it]

1. His testimony was very good.

4. Bill Stepien, drump campaign manager's wife is who was absent.

They played his taped testimony.

[question everything]

3. Excellent. When asked who won the presidency his reply:

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. from the great state of Delaware

He clearly was proud of his algorithm, happy face and smiles.

I wondered whether he still had the job.

6. Delaware, not Maryland

But I liked the way he stated that!

[question everything]

8. Oops, thanks, will correct

[calimary]

10. That was mighty good!

Most satisfying!

7. They made an example of him

... now all the other Faux Noise teevee pundits will shut up and do what they're told.

[crickets]

9. Stirewalt's testimony was quite good.

It was entertaining when he asked who won the election. He knew the answer and didn't hesitate to give it.

I did end up watching the hearing this evening.
