Top Fox News managers depart amid Murdoch concerns over election night
New York | The Fox News executive who oversaw its election night "decision desk" is retiring at the end of the month, a move due in part to what Rupert Murdoch and other top network leaders viewed as a mishandling of the network's early Arizona projection for Joe Biden.
Bill Sammon, 62, Fox News Channel's senior vice president and managing editor in Washington, told staffers early this week about his retirement. His role will be absorbed by existing editorial staffers. A spokesman declined to comment on the reason for his retirement.
