Text message shows Fox News president refused to air Nevada election results because it would have sealed Biden's victory, The New York Times reportsFox News President Jay Wallace was reluctant to call Nevada's 2020 election result just days after the network was heavily criticized by its viewers for being the first to call Arizona for Joe Biden, according to text messages obtained by The New York Times.
The network's election team was prepared to call Nevada on November 6, NYT reported, which would have all but cemented Biden's victory. But in a text message reviewed by the Times, Wallace, who has been the network president since 2018, refused to air the result.
"I'm not there yet since it's for all the marbles just a heavier burden than an individual state call," he wrote, according to NYT. It was not specified who Wallace was messaging.
When Fox News was the first network to correctly call Arizona's results for Biden on election night, the backlash from viewers and Donald Trump's campaign was almost immediate.

If something is inconvenient, they stick heads up their asses & pretend it doesn't exist!

I think that they can sustain it for the duration...

networks with news operations that are honest about reporting results, and they'll call it. People have to stop expecting to get any truth out of FOX.
