A former Fox News editor who claims he was recently ousted from the conservative network after being the first to predict President Joe Biden’s election victory in Arizona has said the US is suffering from “informational malnourishment” in an Op-Ed published on Thursday.
Fox News said that the editor’s dismissal was part of a restructuring.
Chris Stirewalt had previously served as a political editor for the network’s decision desk, where he helped forecast the latest election results and made the call for Arizona – which had not voted to elect a Democratic presidential candidate since 1996 – well before the Associated Press and other major news outlets.
“I was proud of our being first to project that Joe Biden would win Arizona, and very happy to defend that call in the face of a public backlash egged on by former President Trump,” Mr Stirewalt wrote in the article published by Los Angeles Times. “Being right and beating the competition is no act of heroism; it’s just meeting the job description of the work I love.”

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
PO2 Harold Ashton They Lost their Soul with the Advent of FOX News, Many stopped thinking and Let Fox Make their Decisions for Them. I Remember a Time when to be a Republican, a Conservative, You could still be Smart and Articulate. Anymore they are Nothing More than Less than Covert Racist and Fascist.
