Gloating how a tabloid trial eclipsed an Obama scandal, MSNBC host Chris Hayes on All In on Wednesday night, May 8, snickered about how the Cleveland kidnappings and the announcement of a verdict in the Jodi Arias murder trial overshadowed the Benghazi hearings:

“Today was set up to be a big day, a very big day for Roger Ailes, the Fox Network, Drudge Report readers, the denizens of Michelle Malkin’s Web site Twitchy, Sean Hannity’s radio audience and Congressman Darrell Issa. Why? Because today was ‘Benghazi day.’...Fox was all teed up, promos had been made, hosts were properly outraged, the coverage plan was in motion — and then the cable news apocalypse happened.”
