In his newly released book about his time serving in the Trump administration, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows wrote that he was so infuriated when Fox News first called Joe Biden’s electoral win in Arizona on election night that he proceeded to angrily dial an editor at the network to contest Trump’s projected loss, according to Insider.
“I dialed Bill Sammon once again, tapping the numbers with such force that I’m surprised I didn’t crack the screen of my iPhone,” Meadows wrote, according to Insider.
I’m sure meadowmuffins made certain his rage dialing was done within earshot of the orange one.
Poopful Meadows is a profoundly silly (as well as stupid) person. He presumed to “know” Fox’s call on Biden’s AZ win was wrong on the math. Here is Exhibit A for the arrogance of this very small man.
“I walked back down to the Map Room, where our analysts were reporting good news from social media. The Twitter traffic was all trending in the right direction.”
I have a modest proposal: How about the incoming election results don’t get covered at all. Once the polls close, after all, the results are set, and they aren’t going to change. So, just report the final number; everything else is just noise.
I’ve been involved in many Canadian elections at all three levels of government. Federally and Provincially, we still count paper ballots by hand. But here in Toronto, at least, the paper ballots are counted electronically as e-day rolls on. When the polls close, those numbers are all uploaded, and in 10 or 20 minutes we’ve got the results.
