Even When Fox Called Arizona for Biden, Murdoch Suggested Firing The Guy Who Called It
While the Fox Washington Bureau desk was quick to call Arizona for Biden after polls closed, that didn’t sit well with Republicans and, apparently, the Fox chair himself.
Bill Sammon was the bureau desk chief who oversaw the Arizona call. Murdoch suggested to Fox execs “Maybe best to let Bill go right away,” because that would “be a big message with Trump people.” Sammon was “told the inevitable” that night Murdoch sent the message on Nov. 20, 2020, according to the Dominion docs. Sammon later announced he was retiring at the end of January, 2021.
