The Only Network to Provide Live Coverage of Speaker Pelosi? It's Not CNN or MSNBC

pelosi_11.7.jpg So, we wonder if the White House still thinks Fox News is "not a news network." Tonight, Fox News was the only news channel [other than C-SPAN] to provide live coverage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi making her way to the house chamber, then speaking to members ahead of tonight's vote on health care reform. CNN stayed with a taped replay of The Situation Room. MSNBC was airing a crime documentary, but mentioned that Pelosi was speaking during a scheduled live cut-in. FNC and MSNBC have teased they'll have coverage of the vote when it happens. CNN returns to live coverage at 7pmET.
