On Tuesday night, ABC and NBC made no mention of a congressional hearing that took place earlier in the day addressing a scandal unveiled in a Department of Justice (DOJ) report that said Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents in Colombia had participated in sex parties over a multi-year period funded by American taxpayers and the very drug cartels they were fighting.

The lack of coverage from ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News mirrors that of when the original report was released on March 26. In both that case and Tuesday’s hearing, only the CBS Evening News provided a full report on the story.
