The one exception was Fox Business Network. They were mildly subdued until about 10 PM, and then become more and more jovial, until between 1:00 and 3:00, when it was obvious that they desperately wanted to declare Trump the winner and was being stopped by Someones Upstairs.
I hadn't watched any news channels for years, but on election night, someone recommended Fox Business News, and I turned it on. I'm glad I did. I've only watched Fox Business twice since then, for President Trump's Inauguration, and for his recent speech to Congress, and they didn't disappoint.
I watched the coverage on the Ben Shapiro live stream. It was fun watching his bewilderment as state after state refused to fall to HRC. Ben had confidence in the polling and was truly surprised.
Lou Dobbs and this chick named Kennedy were cracking some great one-liners. Cavuto seemed to be enjoying it against his better instincts.
I still remember Kennedy saying the media is like a self-licking lollipop. The more it licks itself the more convinced they are of how right and good they are.

Don’t remember exactly but just after the 8PM CST break, I noticed things began to shift on FBN. I told wife, based on what was being said Trump just may win. True the positive increased from there but i think it became apparent at around 8 CST that HRC was in real trouble.
Yes, I remember. For some reason everyone was refusing to give Trump Georgia even though he was double digits ahead with 90+ percent of the vote in and Cavuto was coming on saying "well we're being asked why we haven't put Georgia into the win column yet for Trump, our people just don't have confidence yet that that's over so we'll wait a little longer" and all I could think was "they thought Hillary had rigged it and someone upstairs is waiting for her fraud to kick in" because there was no other reason.
After the fact I watched PBS coverage of the election on Youtube and that is great fun. They start off all "elections are sacred and we all must respect the results regardless of the outcome (hint: it's Hillary!)" at 8pm and by 10pm that was entirely out the window when it was obvious Trump was winning. Some real sad faces on their, a real delight!
