President Trump berated Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox news, after the company projected a Joe Biden win in Arizona last night, Vanity Fair reports.

Trump called Murdoch, screamed at him and demanded he retract the prediction, the report says.

Murdoch refused and the report remained. Fox was the first major news outlet to give Arizona to Biden. Several major news outlets still say the state is too close to call, although Biden is leading.

The decision on Arizona also stoked tension between Fox’s opinion staff, who heavily favor Trump, and its news section, the report says.
