.@margarettalev reports on CNN that Trump campaign is concerned that Fox News might be the first network to call the election for Biden -- "the feeling is: if it were Fox to call it, it would be tremendously bad for optics, which as we know is really important to the president."
Fox and Friends opens with the Ellie Goulding song "Anything Can Happen."
("This was definitely not a referendum on Trump," Ainsley Earhardt says.)
The Fox and Friends hosts are focusing on Democratic Senate and House losses.

Here is how Fox and Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt summed it up: "Democrats are divided after losing big on election night."
"These pollsters are pornographers," Geraldo Rivera says. (???)

At a Hollywood Radio & TV Society luncheon, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell says of media coverage of Trump: "In some sense, it's been the easiest administration theyve ever had to cover, because the outrages have been so extraordinary and endless and multiplying on top of each other"
Lawrence O'Donnell says that journalists who cover Trump haven't had to have a mastery of policy or anything like that because they can just ask Trump "who are you going to pardon today?" or "why aren't you taking hyroxychloroquine?"
After four years of covering the Trump admin, Lawrence O'Donnell says that "the Washington press is deeply out of shape. It's like a baseball player who hasn't played in 4 years."
New: Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced in a memo to employees today that the company expects that non-production staffers who have been working remotely "will continue to do so for the remainder of the calendar year."
Lachlan Murdoch also said that, for employees who have to work in the office, the company "will soon be introducing additional screenings and processes designed to keep you protected."
Lachlan Murdoch: "In the near-term, we want to maintain a low density in our offices for those employees whose jobs do require them to be on site."
Murdoch said the company "increased sanitizing frequency and cleaning product availability."
