The suspense this Super Tuesday may be in watching how all of the networks try to make the night suspenseful.
Some 16 states and one territory will vote: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia. A Democratic caucus also is being held in American Samoa, and Iowa Democrats also will reveal their results.
But with Joe Biden and Donald Trump on their way to a rematch in the 2024 presidential election, coverage Tuesday will focus on margins of victory, when each candidate will clinch their nomination and what’s next from now until Election Day. There also will be attention to down-ballot races, including California’s Senate primary to fill the seat long held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-ca).

Chris Stirewalt, the garrulous political analyst, is best known, perhaps, for his tenure at Fox News Channel. He’s ready to make a name for himself in a new venue.
Stirewalt famously spent time on screen defending Fox News early — and eerily accurate — projection during the 2020 presidential election that then-President Donald Trump would lose in Arizona, a key state. By the time President Biden was ready to take his oath of office, Stirewalt had exited the Fox Corp. news unit after a decade-long run, fully prepared to put his TV news career in the rearview mirror.
On Sunday, he will have to look in the cameras once again.
Stirewalt is set to anchor “The Hill Sunday,” a bid by upstart cable-news player NewsNation to insert itself into the Sunday-news field typically dominated by decades-old programs with strong video imprimaturs. The anchor believes viewers still yearn for something that tones...

NewsNation is making a play in the crowded and competitive Sunday public affairs show space.
The upstart cable news channel — owned by the local TV giant Nexstar — will launch The Hill Sunday beginning March 3. The program will be hosted by Chris Stirewalt, NewsNation’s political editor and the former political editor for Fox News.
The show will have a format similar to many of the other Sunday politics shows, combining interviews with politicians and newsmakers with a panel of commentators. Nexstar also owns The Hill, and already has a weekday politics program bearing the publication’s name.
On broadcast, NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’ Face the Nation and ABC’s This Week have held court for decades, while CNN and MSNBC have tried a handful of different programs over the years. CNN’s State of the Union has been a constant on the channel. Fox News Sunday was actually...

Sunday morning is made for politics, and Nexstar Media Group’s NewsNation wants in on the action.
Starting in March, NewsNation will produce and air a new Sunday morning political talk show, hosted by the channels’ political editor Chris Stirewalt.
The show will “feature a variety of politicians and newsmakers discussing the latest political news from the nation’s capital,” as well as a panel of “guest commentators offering insight and analysis of the week’s key stories,” according to a press release issued on Thursday.
As described, the show appears to resemble similar fare on the major broadcast and cable channels — NBC’s “Meet the Press,” ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’ “Face the Nation,” “Fox News Sunday” and CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“We are delighted that Chris will be joining the new weekend lineup,” Michael Corn, the President of News at NewsNation, said in a statement.

NewsNation wants to make a land grab on Sundays.
The Nexstar Media-backed cable outlet will launch its own Sunday public affairs program on March 3, when Chris Stirewalt anchors “The Hill Sunday” at 10 a.m. eastern. Launch of the program adds another competitor in an arena that includes CBS’ “Face The Nation,” ABC’s “This Week,” NBC’s “Meet The Press,” CNN’s “State of the Union” and “Fox News Sunday,” which airs on both Fox and Fox News Channel. Launch of the program comes as NewsNation has been seeking to expand its programming to weekends after spending the bulk of its time devising a weekday schedule.
“The Hill Sunday” is expected to feature newsmakers and politicians talking about the latest news emanating from the nation’s capital. A panel of guests will offer analysis of the big stories of the week.

Have you heard it’s cold in Des Moines? The subzero temperatures are making Monday’s caucuses in Iowa the coldest on record, a running theme of coverage throughout the day and into this evening. It’s not trivial, as the frigid weather may very well impact turnout.
As Iowa’s first votes of the 2024 presidential race come in, expect a lot of analysis, punditry and prediction, even if the results represent just a sliver of the primary electorate. The Hawkeye state’s primacy as the first-in-the-nation often obscures the peculiarities of the caucus system, unless there is some kind of glitch, which is what happened four years ago with the Democrats.
That said, networks see the caucuses as the kickoff of what is hoped a spike in viewer interest in the presidential contest, as was seen in 2020 and 2016. All of the broadcast networks are planning for ongoing coverage of...

Amy Robach is reportedly on the cusp of landing a new gig, eight months after she and co-anchor T.J. Holmes were fired from ABC’s “GMA3” when news of their affair leaked.
According to the Daily Mail, Robach is on the verge of signing a new deal with News Nation, the fledgling cable news operation that picked up Chris Cuomo after he was dumped by CNN following an investigation that he helped his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, craft his legal defence over sexual harassment claims.
The Mail‘s report indicates that Holmes had also been angling for a job with News Nation, but was reportedly not considered over fears that the outlet could be perceived as a dumping ground for disgraced news anchors fired from other platforms.

As candidates and commentators warn that democracy is at stake in this year’s midterms, Nextstar NewsNation’s political editor Chris Stirewalt is a bit cool to the idea that Tuesday’s has that ultimate impact.
“The one thing I always try to impress upon people is, ‘The most important election is always the next election.’ Because we get to do it again, right? There is no finish line in a democracy. We just keep doing it,” Stirewalt told Deadline in an interview last week.
That’s not to say there are not concerns, as Stirewalt is well aware of the fallout from election denialism.
Back in 2020, Stirewalt defended Fox News’ call of Arizona for Joe Biden, the first sign that Donald Trump would lose the election. The network’s decision desk turned out to be correct, but the network faced a backlash on the right as Stirewalt and others defended the call.
“The one thing I always try to impress upon people is, ‘The most important election is always the next election.’ Because we get to do it again, right? There is no finish line in a democracy. We just keep doing it,” Stirewalt told Deadline in an interview last week.

Flashback to two years ago, on the eve of the 2020 presidential election. IndieWire made a recommendation that, even if you never watched Fox News Channel, this might be a good time to give it a shot. We thought it would be interesting, but didn’t realize how right we were.
Fox’s early and near-solitary call that Joe Biden won Arizona had an immense impact on what became a long and drawn-out process of certifying his victory. To this day, that reality hasn’t been accepted by many Republicans — including Arizona’s current Republican nominee for governor, who based her campaign on election denial.
That accurate projection drew the displeasure of the White House, but Fox stuck by it — a decision that deflated then-President Donald Trump’s plan to declare an unfounded victory before supporters that evening.
Early calls can make a huge difference. In 2000, when the national broadcast networks...

In her first interview since the attack on her husband, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday that it was the result of “a flame fueled by misinformation,” as evidence shows the suspect embraced far-right conspiracy theories.
Paul Pelosi, 82, is home and recovering from the early-morning October 28 attack at their San Francisco home after being struck in the head with a hammer. David DePape has pleaded not guilty to a number of state and federal charges, including assault, attempted murder and attempted kidnapping of a federal official.

Less than two weeks after the siege of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Fox News dismissed its political editor, Chris Stirewalt, in what the network said was a restructuring, and he said was a firing.
As many media reporters and commentators noted, Stirewalt had defended the network’s correct call of Arizona for Joe Biden on Election Night, the first sign that Donald Trump would lose the race. What resulted was a backlash from Trump and his supporters, not just “insane rage” directed at the network, but against Stirewalt himself. One Republican senator, Kevin Cramer, accused him of a “cover-up,” as if Stirewalt himself had been counting votes.
His new book, Broken News: Why the Media Rage Machine Divides America and How to Fight Back, delves into his dismissal, but this is hardly a tell-all, or singularly focused expose of what’s happened to his former employer.

Update June 13, 2022:
Chris Stirewalt was the first in-person witness today at the House Committee hearings about the attack on the Capitol. He had worked as a Fox News political editor for over a decade until February 2021, and was part of the projection desk team that controversially declared that Arizona had been won by Joe Biden on Election Night. Though he stated today that the projection was only “controversial” to Fox News’s competitors.
Both before the election, and after, we reported on the high reputation and importance of Fox News in making projections. Irrespective of their long-time reputation as biased towards Republicans in their news coverage, their record on election projections had high credibility. Stirewalt reiterated this in his testimony. The article below adds details to this.
Based on everything that’s known, Stirewalt’s work at Fox News was professional and his personal political views were not relevant.

Update: Former Attorney General William Barr has been in the spotlight in this hearing, as the committee has run extensive video of his testimony, in which he talked of how he thought that Donald Trump was “detached from reality” as he began to embrace conspiracies about the election.
“I was somewhat demoralized, because I thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has lost contact — he’s become detached from reality,” Barr said.
Barr said that he met with Trump in the Oval Office to inform him that the Justice Department had not found evidence of widespread election fraud. Barr said that Trump was “as mad as I’ve ever seen him and he was trying to control himself.” He said that Trump told him, “You must have said this because you hate Trump.”

“I have been called to testify before this committee, and I will do so on Monday,” Stirewalt said on NewsNation, where he serves as political editor.
He told anchor Adrienne Bankert that he was “not in a position now to tell you what my testimony will be about,” but said that he wanted to make a full disclosure.

“Then there’s the whole problem of profiting from, I call it inaccuracy, from opinion and from presenting things in an inaccurate fashion,” the now-retired executive said on the latest “Media” episode of Apple TV+’s The Problem with Jon Stewart that dropped Thursday
“I think if you are looking overall at the pot of what is considered news today, it’s a problem,” Iger added, never naming names but clearly leaning towards massive Disney shareholder Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel. “So to answer your question, I don’t know what the answer is in terms of fixing it,” he admits.

Rick Santorum responded to CNN’s decision to drop him as a commentator, claiming that he was the victim of the “intolerance of the left.”
He popped up on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Monday evening, two days after CNN confirmed that it had parted ways with him amid furor over comments he made about Native Americans.
“What I said was not at all disparaging of Native Americans,” Santorum told Hannity. “What I was talking about was the founding of the United States of America, and that Native Americans did not have a role in the founding of our country.”
At the Young America’s Foundation conference last month, Santorum said, “We birthed a nation. From nothing. There was nothing here. Yes, we have Native Americans, but there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture. It was born of the people who came here, pursuing religious liberty,...

Democrats aren’t the only ones glad Joe Biden is in the Oval Office. Lachlan Murdoch, CEO of the company that owns Fox News Channel, is as well.
Murdoch predicted Thursday that Fox News, the economic engine of his company, Fox Corporation, would lead cable news in the ratings once again after ceding ground in recent weeks to rivals CNN and MSNBC. “The main beneficiary of the Trump administration from a ratings points of view was MSNBC,” which served as a kind of “loyal opposition.,” Murdoch said while speaking to investors at a conference organized by Morgan Stanley. “That’s what our job is now with the Biden administration, and you’ll see our ratings really improve from here.”
Murdoch makes his comments as Fox News Channel has come under investor scrutiny due to viewership levels rising not only at traditional cable-news rivals, but also at far-right news outlets like Newsmax.

Chris Stirewalt, the former politics editor of Fox News Channel, penned an op ed published on Thursday for the Los Angeles Times in which he defended calling Arizona for Joe Biden on election night, a call that set off Donald Trump and pushback and even “murderous rage” from his supporters.
Stirewalt said in the op ed that he was fired from Fox News last week, in what the network said was a restructuring of its digital division.
In the op ed, Stirewalt did not criticize Fox News directly but the business generally, suggesting that the push among executives and producers is to stir emotions.
“What is still relatively new is a marketplace that offers penalties for reporting the news but lots of rewards for indulging a consumer’s worst cravings,” he wrote. “Cable news producers work in a world of 15-minute increments in which their superiors can track even tiny changes in viewership.

Fox News laid off nearly 20 staffers across Fox News Digital on Tuesday as part of restructuring efforts first announced last year.
Included in the layoffs is digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt, who joined the network in 2010 and recently worked on Fox News’ Decision Desk during the 2020 election.
“As we conclude the 2020 election cycle, Fox News Digital has realigned its business and reporting structure to meet the demands of this new era,” a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement. “We are confident these changes will ensure the platform continues to deliver breakthrough reporting and insightful analysis surrounding major issues, both stateside and abroad.”
The spokesperson declined to comment on individuals affected by the layoffs, citing employee confidentiality.

Florida will count its results relatively quickly; Pennsylvania won’t. President Donald Trump already is saying that it all should be over on November 3, raising fears that if not he’ll declare victory early, or insist that the process is rigged.
Networks are grappling with a potentially complicated, long-drawn out Election Night, the possibility that no winner will be known and even that the process will extend for days or even weeks. They have been rehearsing all sorts of different scenarios, but more than anything insist that they are proceeding with a sense of caution.

In the world of TV news, reporters and producers always want to be first. But on Election Night, they know they need to be right. Executives at Fox News Channel had worked for months to make certain they would be both.
Just a few minute after 9:30 p.m. last night, Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier made a bold declaration: Democrats were likely to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives. No other news outlet had made that call. NBC News and CNN would not follow with similar projections until much later in the night.
The early call proved a highlight that may have helped boost Fox News performance.

Updated with video: On the eve of this year’s Emmy nominations unveiling, Stephen Colbert noted his agent does not work as hard for him as President Donald Trump works for Russia.
Hours before Colbert’s Late Show taped, Trump kicked off his latest scorched-earth visit with Nato, accusing German Chancellor Angela Merkel of being a captive of Russia, because Germany gets 35% of its natural gas from that country.
Colbert said we all should have seen that one coming from miles away, Trump having previously boasted that, on his trip, he will meet with Nato members, visit the UK though mostly give London a miss because the mayor has approved launch of a giant Baby Trump Blimp to mark his visit, and hold a private meeting with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.
“Frankly, Putin may be easiest of them all – who would think?” Trump marveled.

Donald Trump is in Europe right now doing Donald Trump things to U.S. allies, and Stephen Colbert spent the first part of his monologue on “The Late Show” Wednesday night hurling zingers at the president.
“It is the first full day of Donald Trump’s trip to Europe. He’s in Brussels for the Nato summit, and then it’s on to England, then he’s going to straight to hell,” Colbert said. Then he realized he’d left off a couple syllables. “I’m sorry, Helsinki. To meet with Vladimir Putin.”
After that “slip,” Colbert pointed out one subtle odd detail from video of the meeting.
