trendingpolitics.com FOX FAIL: Network Finally Retracts False House Prediction 8 Days Later
TrendingPolitics.com
 Fox News has finally retracted their false House prediction 8 days after the initial claim was made live during their election night coverage.
On election night, Fox News host Brett Baier tweeted, "Fox news can now project Democrats will retain control of the House and expand their majority by at least five seats. This is a major boost for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has pledged to roll back much of Trump's first-term agenda if he loses reelection."

"The Fox News Decision Desk can project Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives and expand their majority by at least five seats," said Fox News host Martha MacCallum. "That’s a major boost for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has pledged to roll back much of President Trump’s first term agenda if he loses reelection. … There have been projections that Democrats could pick up as many as fifteen seats."
It now seems that Fox News was a little giddy to give good news to the Democrats considering their projection was completely wrong.
Check out what John Nolte with Breitbart News had to say:
Of course, nothing of the kind happened. The House counts are a little different everywhere, but it looks like Democrats may have somewhere between 6 and 10 House seats, and could lose as many as 15.
By the way, did you notice how I couched and caveated the above sentence? Did you notice how I informed you that the “counts are a little different everywhere” and used words like “looks” and phrases like “as many”?
You want to know why I did that? Because I’m not an asshole like the people at Fox News. I’m not here to mislead you, to pose as some kind of authority when we still don’t know. You see, my integrity means something to me. And I have respect for the Breitbart News audience, which means I don’t lie to you; I don’t tell you things that are untrue.
I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m not Fox News.
That’s how this is supposed to work — we’re supposed to tell you what we know, what we don’t know… But there were the proven liars at Fox News arrogantly lying once again to benefit Democrats who will never stop hating them.
Fox News lied to you with its rigged polls.
Fox News lied to you by calling Arizona early when it took eight days to call the state — and is going to an almost certain recount.
Fox News lied to you when it accused Trump of not condemning white supremacists.
Fox News censors content Fox News doesn’t want you to hear.
Fox News lied to you when it accused Trump of causing the interruptions in the first presidential debate.
Fox News rigged the first presidential debate.
Fox News lied to you about waiting for a “certified” winner before declaring Joe Biden “president-elect.”
And here’s Fox News smugly lying to its sucker viewers about Pelosi dominating on Election Night, when the truth is she took a humiliating beating.
Oh, and I have not even gotten to the worst yet.
It took these Fox News liars eight days — eight days — to retract that lie. It was only yesterday, eight days after Fox News knew it had lied, that Fox News finally retracted it — and that was only after Bret Baier was shamed into it on Twitter.
