Remember Chris Stirewalt, a FOX News editor who was fired after — accurately — predicting Biden would win in Arizona during the 2020 election?
Now he’s speaking out.
While saying he ‘understood’ that Republicans would be mad over Trump’s defeat in the state, he underestimated how it would play out at FOX.
Saying that he didn’t know “how deeply afraid” network bosses were of the cable channel’s own audience.
“I did not understand how deeply afraid so many people where I worked were of their own audience,” said Stirewalt, who is now NewsNation’s political editor. “And that is really what you get to see as this stuff comes out, which is afraid of their own audience and afraid to level with them and tell them how things are, and deal with it.”
Despite the letdown of Trump’s defeat, Fox News wanted to keep its “sugar high” ratings going, Stirewalt added.
Imagine being fired for reporting the actual news.
