“If we hadn’t called Arizona, those three or four days following Election Day, our ratings would have been bigger,” CEO Suzanne Scott reportedly said.
In the aftermath of the 2020 election, Fox News executives were apparently beating themselves up over what they regarded a grave misstep: correctly calling the state of Arizona before any of their competitors. According to a recording obtained by, Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott brought together company leaders on Nov. 16, 2020, to discuss how the network could avoid antagonizing its MAGA viewership by being the first to call another election for a Democrat.
“Listen, it’s one of the sad realities: If we hadn’t called Arizona, those three or four days following Election Day, our ratings would have been bigger. The mystery would have been still hanging out there,” Scott reportedly said. For potential solutions, executives apparently floated ditching their expensive, state-of-the-art projection system for a slower one or basing calls not only on data but also on how viewers might feel about them.
