  • Wow. The BBC seemed to cover the election just as well as CNN, ABC or MSNBC if not better. As for Fox News... well I don't watch crap so I have no idea.

  • i remember watching this at 3:00-5:00 o'clock in the morning and i was so happy when Obama won and i can say that i watched his historic speech live. it was a good night :)

  • I have always been wondering if the British understand American English.

  • @roswellatup Funny how the right-wing trolls disappear right after Obama won in 2008....... and only wait till Obama is now not so popular to come out from under the troll bridge. Then they act all cocky.

    Why don't you work out what you are actually saying when you yell "Get your government hands off my Medicare!" --- Sort out that hypocrisy first.

  • I don't get it why people voted that one on 2008, but he's gonna lose in 2012

  • @EarlyGraycex BBC covered it much better than MSNBC. BBC doesn't have an outrageous liberal bias. As for it in comparison to Fox, let's not even go there...

  • @rtnash420 If you take out the bias, it's still a poor excuse of a news channel just by style and execution. It's endless commentary with a heaping side of mudslinging. I cannot recall the last time I saw a journalist just giving us some news. And their current special on "liberal media bias"? It doesn't matter which channel does this and what slant they're taking on, it's downright disgusting to air something like this on a channel that's supposed to give information.

  • @EarlyGraycex It wasn't crap that night. It was crap and a half.

  • @EarlyGraycex

    If you watched MSNBC and didnt find it as bias trash you dont know BS when it is right infront of you. PBS, BBC, CNN. Only networks I will watch. MSNBC was worse than FOX even, they should be ashamed. They had all the liberal talking heads out, would be like if FOX had Hannity, Beck, and Bill cover the elections.

    I despise all bias in media, you seem to just hate the bias that isnt in line with your thought. Makes you no better than the FOX viewers you put down.

  • I think almost everyone here in the UK wanted Obama to win.

  • @EarlyGraycex I just hope the next Presidential Election the BBC will send Paxman

  • Is Jeremy Vine ever let out by the BBC into the real world?
