As of Thursday morning, most major US networks haven't called a winner of the presidential race in Arizona. But that's most networks--not all. Fox News and the Associated Press have each made a call, and that's become a problem. CNN reports the issue has become a bone of contention between the news organizations and President Donald Trump's campaign. Arizona's 11 Electoral College votes are pivotal to Trump's path to re-election. But Fox's decision desk called the race for Joe Biden. Trump allies spent Wednesday demanding that Fox retract its projection. Jared Kushner even called Fox owner Rupert Murdoch to complain--to no avail.
