OMG... After seeing several more clips from MSNBC's coverage last night, I have to amend my earlier post.
The network should be embarrassed and in a few instances, ashamed of some of the things they said and did last night... Not to mention what a disservice to the public it was, offering up that stacked deck of one sided liberal commentary and analysis.
Here are a some examples of what I'm talking about:
Chris Matthews asking Bachman "Are You Hypnotized" because he didn't like her responses. Then Olbermann and the MSNBC crew laughing their asses off twice during the interview, and then again after it was concluded.
Lawrence O'Donnell's long rant against Rand Paul, where he said that Paul is economically ignorant and that his principals could easily lead to world wide economic collapse... Yes, he really did say that.
Rachael Maddow attacked Republican Senator Dan Coats after his victory in Indiana and attacked the Tea Party's for supporting him, along with attacking other republican candidates. I thought what she said was inappropriate and bit childish
Then there was Chris Matthews and his "Call me Dick" comment about Dick Armey... That's professional news coverage for you.
Ed Shultz reporting live from John Boehner's victory rally, not only goes after Boehner for what he said in his speech, but toward the end of the segment turns around as says about Republicans "They're about power... I don't trust them." Another fine example of professional news coverage and reporting.
Keith Olberman sees the Tea Party's as radical and extreme, so he used his "Universal solvent" theory to attack them. It basically states that although they achieved positive results in this election, they still pose a very dangerous threat to the future of our political process and need to be put on a leash. The cast and crew on the set got a good chuckle out of it.
Olbermann also stated that Americans will sleep better tonight because Christine O'Donnell is not elected to the Senate.

You know, with the exception of Bill O'Reilly commenting on the Alan Grayson loss, I can't recall anyone on Fox engaging in any partisan attacks last night. Keep in mind, O'Reilly popped in for a brief 2 minute visit and was not part of the election coverage team... while all those mentioned at MSNBC, were a part of their election coverage.
Fox kept things on a very factual and professional level all night long, which probably explains why people turn to them for news instead of MSNBC... How far they have fallen.
