I watched Fox News for five hours last night

As Obama's victory became undeniable, Brit Hume moved beyond grief and anger with Karl Rove. And Juan Williams justified his existence.

    Fox News

    I'm not a North American, I'm a Brazilian. This election was electrifying for people all over the world. On election day I was " watching closely " CNN, Spanish CNN, BBC, TV5 and Fox. This channel - Fox - is very offensive and agressive to everybody. They are disrespecful of the people being interviewed, they have no respect for the audience, their " anchors " are like robots, they are deeply distasful.They interrupt,they bully , they shout, there's too much face lifting etc. It was fun to see their discomfiture anouncing Pres. Obama's inspiring election. BBC reporting was by far the best coverage, more comprehensive and not displaying the sort of pyrotechnics that CNN was airing. Today I read on the CNN website that Ms. Amanpour stated that " challenges remain ". Really? who would have thought so..... TV news people should be aware that they say a lot of silly and redundant things and not underestimate their audience.By the way, yesterday I wished I were North American! Congratulations to you all and welcome to the world's community again.
