On Tuesday night, CBS and NBC  led their evening newscasts with the arrest of the supposed mastermind of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya while ABC reported it right after two short stories on devastating tornadoes in the Midwest.  To their credit, CBS and ABC made a serious attempt at bias-free reporting but NBC’s Nightly News fell short.
