Betsy DeVos, the U.S. Secretary of Education, has resigned from her Cabinet position:

After that news broke, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer made her opinion clear in a tweet:

Not that it’s become abundantly clear that media’s mostly biased or anything, but the reaction from a certain CBS News correspondent didn’t escape attention (though you’ll notice the tweet doesn’t show up anymore):

Gee, what happened? It looks like the CBS News journo’s round of applause for Whitmer was flushed down the memory hole, albeit too late. But the screenshots are forever:

@edokeefe , we saw your deleted tweet with Whitmer.
To deny the US media’s complicity in what happened yesterday is obtuse at best. The protestors were certainly misguided and disillusioned, but one truth is certain. They know coastal elites & MSM despise them. This fuels…

It’s a new year, but the “journalism” hasn’t changed much.
