U.S. SENATE PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT TRIAL By David Bianculli

This day of coverage, like these proceedings in the Senate, hone in on the second article of impeachment – obstruction of Congress. At various points in the day, take a moment to hop around on your TV channel guide, and see how various news organizations are, or are not, covering the proceedings.
