Shot…
Remember this story from a few days ago about Stephen Miller eating glue as a 3rd grader? As we told you, the teacher who gave the interview that spawned all of these hot takes has since been suspended:
As a child, White House immigration adviser Stephen Miller "would pour glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it," his third-grade teacher said. https://t.co/acZwyeC4Bv

Chaser…
And now that she’s been suspended, HuffPost totally rewrote the article to focus on that and rat-holed it’s rah-rah glue-eater narrative:
We've updated the story to focus on the teacher's suspension, rather than her initial comments. A public figure's behavior as a child is not by itself newsworthy, and we regret having treated it as such. https://t.co/fpTT0Xndl4

This is now what appears at the bottom of the article:
EDITOR’S NOTE: This story originally centered on the comments from Miller’s third-grade teacher. A public figure’s behavior when they were a child is not by itself newsworthy, and we regret treating it as such. The story has been updated throughout to focus on the teacher’s suspension.
What a joke:

This took a bit too long, I think. https://t.co/z0H0n2DsZI

We wish more media outlets had better judgment in the first place:
I wish more media companies were this transparent and apologetic about mistakes. https://t.co/2dkYUtpyhM

Because we know that the HuffPost never would have run an article like this of a Dem administration:
I get it. Everyone has their biases. But if your bias routinely overpowers your professional judgement, you have a serious problem. https://t.co/hd3i5Ft3l6
