Even As the GOP Flips Another House Seat, Fox's News' "We're Just That Damned Good" Decision Desk Arrogantly Refuses to Retract or Even Comment on Its "Call" that the Democrats Would Pick Up +5 to +15 Seats

Credibility. Accountability. Honesty.

That's Fox's brand, huh?

Republican Michelle Steel has taken the Huntington Beach area seat away from the Democrats.

Earlier, Christopher Gage wrote a barnburner of an article chastising Fox for standing by its "call" just because they will not admit error to the conservatives they plainly despise.

As the GOP continues gaining seats, Fox News has refused all calls to rescind its absurd "call" that the Democrats would win +5 to +15 seats.

In fact, they're so arrogant, they are refusing to even answer legitimate media inquiries about it.

Deb Heine asked if they were standing by the call, and if so, why.

She got the same answer the leftwing media usually gives conservative critics: No answer at all. Nothing but static.

Trusting that they have the media power to smother the story in silence.

It's a good question so American Greatness emailed Fox News Corporation Monday morning to ask it. We didn't receive a reply.

The Fox News Decision Desk made its wildly inaccurate projection early on Election Night, saying that Democrats would win at least five seats in the House. The bad call was devastating to Republican morale and set the false narrative that President Trump had no coattails.

As Gage noted, "this happened while Californians were still voting."

Why does that matter? Because there are four districts in California that Democrats won from Republicans in 2018 and which Republicans were trying to retake. They are likely to win at least three of them.

...

Fox News anchor Martha McCallum reported on Election night that according to some projections, Democrats could pick up as many as 15 seats.

We now know the GOP are projected to gain up to 13 seats, and are 21,000 votes shy of retaking the House, according to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

...

American Greatness emailed Fox News' corporate communications vice president Irena Briganti Monday Morning to ask if the Fox News Decision Desk had rescinded its inaccurate projection, but did not receive a reply.

Giving the finger to conservatives' questions about mistakes?

Fox News has nothing more to learn from CNN. Their transformation is complete.

Meanwhile, the Fox house is burning down -- and the "News" division has forbidden daytime to even cover election fraud.

"Everything except Tucker/Hannity/Laura is cratering. Daytime's been told not to have any guests on from the campaign/legal teams/White House."

Mollie Hemingway tweeted she'd be on Fox tonight.

Most people responded that while they were fans of hers, they were no longer watching Fox.
