Fox News is currently engaged in full damage control after they exposed themselves with manipulative election coverage and destroyed their credibility in the most brutal fashion imaginable. That said, CTH has written about the Fox Agenda for years, but even we didn’t know the details of the scheme construct until this tweet from Guy Benson:
Setting aside that Benson spelled Daron Shaw’s name wrong; and reminding yourself that Guy Benson is a paid Fox News contributor; what he has outlined in that tweet is actually quite remarkable. The pollster paid by Fox News to predict election outcomes, is a key part of the crew that calls the results on election night. Think about that.
Think about the conflict, the purposeful and brutally obvious conflict, that would exist in using the same person to predict elections and then report on the results of that election.
Obviously a person performing both tasks, predicting & reporting on outcomes, is going to have a self-interest in affirming their predictions; after all, that’s how they are paid.
If you wonder why these manipulative Fox News operations are so fundamentally flawed; and/or you wonder why Fox News would have a vested interest in affirming their predictions before the actual outcomes are even clear (see Arizona); well, there’s the answer.
Daron Shaw is the establishment “republican” pollster behind Shaw and Associates. We have pointed out issues with Shaw in the past as we deconstructed his poll outcomes. {GO DEEP}
Once you see the strings on the marionettes…

Fox News just lost us. Although both my husband and myself still watch very few picked shows, we have so much disdain with a lot of the hosts.. So were shifting to OAN and Newsmax..They never had a positive poll for trump even before the election…and the refusal to remove Arizona electoral votes from Biden when votes are still being counted is disgraceful…. and remember what Chris Wallace did to Trump during the debate…NEVER AGAIN….FOX NEWS!!!!! I
I feel the same way and after searching, I found the Pluto channel on my Roku streaming device. I purchased the Roku for a good price and then pick the programming that interests you. I selected Pluto on the Roku and everything is free. In addition to Newsmax and OAN, I especially like America’s Voice not to mention The First and The Blaze. I watch them on my TV instead of the computer, and don’t watch Fox at all. I especially like War Room on “America’s Voice” channel on the Pluto network. NO FOX
Guy Benson was always a gerbil scurrying back to his dark smelly space after issuing his worthless but artful, seductive, non-threatening vapid bromides.
He is the latest reason not to watch FOX.
Very disconcerting to discover the only news show I believed to be non-partisan, is actually as biased as everyone else. What happens to Tucker, the one newsman remaining, whom I trust?
I truly believe God put Trump in the White House, so I’m not worried about Trump losing, because I don’t believe that’s going to happen. I’m totally at peace with it. Look at what has happened to everyone who tried to take Trump out, all the way back to the first debate where he utterly put Meagan Kelly in the cornfield never to be seen again.
It seems that, as soon as FOX ‘called’ Arizona for Biden, they promptly switched to a live Biden addressing the nation on election night “AS IF HE HAD WON”! This was more than a little suspect… as if it were all preplanned. Am very disappointed in FOX. They have radically changed in recent years, not for the better.
I am devastated that Trump wasn’t declared the winner before all the faux ballots were pulled out of the trash bags. And while I had quit watching anything on Fox but my 3 night conservatives, The Five (hopefully w/o Juan) and couple on Sunday evenings………I’m moving on. Murdock has left and left the barn door open for media back stabbing two faced rhinos. I’m a Trumper forever.
Is Fox News the next Drudge Report?
