Fox News editor who says he was fired after calling Arizona for Biden in 2020 slams network for stoking 'paranoia and hatred' in its viewers

Former Fox News politics editor Chris Stirewalt accused the network of stoking paranoia and hatred in extracts of his new book in The New York Times Sunday.
Stirewalt says he was fired by Fox News after appearing on-air to defend the network's decision to call Arizona for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. It was a key moment on election night that enraged former President Donald Trump, who tried, unsuccessfully, to get the usually adamantly supportive network to retract the call.
A network representative told Insider in January 2021 that Stirewalt had parted company with them as part of a restructuring process.
In his memoir, said The Times, Stirewalt alleged the network is playing a key role in the radicalization of the US right, accusing it of spreading "black-helicopter-level paranoia and hatred."
In the book, he says that during Trump's term in office, the network fed viewers what they wanted to hear, provoking the firestorm of criticism he encountered from Republicans after the Arizona call.

Difference between the RINOS and the magats. The best thing we can do now as DemocRats is embrace our inner Splinter and realize that most Americans don't care about the linguistic difference between Democratic voters and DemocRats and start Ratf---king the difference between them 😉
