How Fox News and Bill Hemmer are preparing for another critical election night - Poynter
Briefly

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer noted, "Whether you're getting ready for a big game as a football player, or whether you're prepping for the exam of your life, when you put in the work with your team, that clock strikes 7 o'clock and you have the opportunity to put those states on the board... it’s game on." This analogy underscores the intense preparation required for election coverage at Fox News.
Hemmer emphasized that their preparation since January 2023 has been exhaustive: "Rehearsals, research, more rehearsals, more research, studying polls, examining websites... for months upon months, gearing up for this one night." This diligence reflects their commitment to delivering accurate election coverage.
