To be fair, I didn't watch them all the time during the campaign so I don't know if they threw ALL objectivity overboard, but certainly when it came to discussing the election, they didn't seem to have any objectivity.

I don't care why they were biased. They were biased and they shouldn't have been. I don't think any NEWS organization should have a bias other than to report facts. And, yes, that goes for Fox News.

Also, the email scandal sure was talked about in length too. If they tried to help her, they did as lousy a job as Comey. :)

I disagree. It seemed to me when discussing the email scandal it was to do everything they could to defend Hillary.
