Fox News- not as excited about historical win

Early in the morning on Nov. 5th, I searched the online news world to check out headlines about Barack Obama's historical win over John McCain. Most news sources had inspiring pictures of Obama making his victory speech, with headlines such as "History is Made" "The World Rejoices" "Mr. President", and so on. I was dissapointed to read the somber headline from Fox News stating "Obama Campaign Promises could Become a Burden in his Presidentcy" and "Many Troubles Inherited by New President." These headlines made me feel that Fox News did not share the excitement that the world was feeling about this historical win. It makes me wonder what the headlines would have been in John McCain was elected President. Would they focus on the negative? Despite Fox New's political tendencies, Obama's winning was a defining moment, and it should have been treated as such by all news sources.
