For the second day in a row, the CBS Evening News committed a disservice to their viewers in covering competitive U.S. Senate races by censoring massive pasts of Democratic challengers with Wednesday featuring the newscast omitting any mention of former Senator-turned-candidate Evan Bayh having a lucrative lobbying career since he left the Senate in 2011.

Just as correspondent Julianna Goldman did in cloaking Pennsylvania Democrat Katie McGinty’s pitfalls against incumbent GOP Senator Pat Toomey, correspondent Dean Reynolds fondly described Bayh as “a former two-term Democratic senator who retired six years ago and now wants back in.”
