Of course they're factual in reporting results. The news guys aren't supposed to be rooting for one side or the other, just reporting. But they noted the broad based unexpected wins across the board as a Democratic night.

Morning Joe the next morning certainly did, noting that the Dems got out the vote, women stood in line in the rain to vote.

I don't get CNN, but I read it online, and it was reporting the night similarly to MSNBC. Dem wins broad based, unexpected wins, wins here, wins there, and such. All the reporters I saw on both MSNBC & CNN were excited because it was an exciting night.

I think it was CNN that used the term blue wave across the East Coast.
