replete with breathless 'Breaking News' banners about how much trouble Obama was in, night and day, whether he needed to be impeached immediately, ravaging Pelosi for not doing so fast enough, etc.
And repukes would be given TONS AND TONS of airtime to complain.

Racism (the GOP) and ad revenue (the MSM). That combination doesn't apply right now.
