Health Care Drama Brings Great Day for Cable Channel Surfing

The drama and battle over today's health care plan vote and debate is a great opportunity to truly see how the three major cable news channels handle things. You may want to bounce from one to the other, if you can really stomach Fox, that is.

If you look at each network's Web site morning advance news stories, and headlines, they speak clearly again which way they are going.

Fox's head: Deadline Flare-ups Threaten Health Care Passage.

MSNBC: Heath Vote Caps Journey Back From The Brink. [posting a New York Times story]

CNN: House Democrat Official: We've Got The Votes on Health Care.

It will also be interesting to see how the broadcast networks handle things. Will CBS cut into its March Madness basketball at any time? Will NBC cut away from golf? And will Fox cut away from the vote if it is leaning Obama's way?

It is yet another example of why viewers must be careful to get as much information from as many different sources as possible. Of course, there are also newspapers.
