ADVERTISEMENTAt issue is the decision late Tuesday by Fox News and the Associated Press to proclaim Biden the winner in Arizona over Trump, based on incomplete results. AFP reported the projections based on its methodology of making state calls based on information from two major US outlets. Fox News defended its decision, maintaining that Biden’s large lead in the early count appeared insurmountable. Panagopoulos said most media outlets rely on the same election pool data but that some augment that with proprietary polling to get a more complete picture as official results trickle in. “For the most part, media outlets and analysts are being cautious” about projecting winners, Panagopoulos noted.
