    Flicked on RTE a while ago there. Their map looked like something knocked together on a Commodore64...BRUTAL!

    I like Anderson cooper, mainly cause he hosted the mole but they have about 3 times too many people in the studio

    I think the BBC coverage is pretty good,

    The guy on there that has the touch screen tv has done his research, fair play to him. Thought the pictures of the crowd running across the field was cack, wtf?

    RTE's coverage is brutal.
    That Mark Little guy is clueless.Absolute buffoon.
    The way they are praising Obama you'd think he was after serving 2 terms as the greatest president ever,after healing the sick,walking on water,turning dirt into gold.Ridiculous.
    Its a case of the Emperors new clothes.

    These guys playing with their touchscreens (on all the channels) are really p!ssing me off. They're not showing any more information - they're just showing off "and if I tap here it zooms in and we can see some useless information that I could have just told you instead".

    Just show the damn info.

    RTE's coverage is ****e.

    Its supposed to be a results show,not a discussion program.

    cnn is very cagey when it comes to calling states and that hologram was sorry,definitely the acedemic choice.christopher hitchens was on bbc1 and he was kinda fun,i would be as happy with john bowman if it wasn't for mark little's o so puckable head.that said none of this matters :P
