The thing is the websites are not moderate fairly thus editorial decisions are made. "Hang Mike Pence" is allowed to trend on Twitter but "1984" is not allowed

  > Fox News has been moving left & was the first network to call Arizona for Biden very early as a suppression tactic. This is nonsensical. How is a call after after voting has ended a "suppression tactic"? The talking point you're probably looking for is "polls were skewed intentionally as a suppression tactic" but even that's not so compelling given 2012's miss in most of the late polling in favor of Romney.

    > How is a call after after voting has ended a "suppression tactic"? The call was before voting had ended. Does it make sense to you now? > The talking point you're probably looking for is "polls were skewed intentionally as a suppression tactic" Given widespread distrust of pollsters, I'm not sure effective polls are at suppression. Biased polling are effective at propping up certain media narratives.

      > The call was before voting had ended No, it wasn’t. AZ polls closed at 7pm local time, Fox’s call was ~11:20pm EDT, which is 20 minutes after any polling locations in the Navajo Nation (which uses daylight time) closed, and 80 minutes after those in the rest of the state closed.
