Interesting. All the news I’m currently finding on this is originating with the Washington Post story, with its expected tilt.

Today’s news is the sort that is about to send me back to bed. At least, Trump’s ratings aren’t affected by all this.

TV’s Trump News: Three-Fourths Impeachment and 93% Negative

FTA:
On the other hand, the networks’ frenzy over impeachment has meant the Democratic presidential candidates have been barely visible on the evening newscasts, even though voting is due to begin in just three weeks.
...
the networks are spending more than twice as much airtime on the Ukraine probe as they did on the Russia probe
...
Such unusual coverage aims to build up the significance of the event in the viewer’s mind — suggesting an historic moment on par with the Kennedy assassination or 9/11, not a futile partisan exercise. But Nielsen ratings showed the public didn’t seem interested
...
As for President Trump, evening news viewers heard 72 positive statements vs. 981 negative statements during the same period, for a 93% negative spin score. While most citizens would want their media to be even-handed in their coverage of candidates, the networks seem poised to be as lopsidedly negative in their coverage of Trump’s 2020 campaign as they have been in their coverage of his presidency.
