CBS reporter apologizes for post praising El-Sayed heckler

Original: CBS reporter apologizes and deletes post praising Abdul El-Sayed heckler https:// lemmy.world/post/53309538

A CBS News reporter has apologized and deleted a social media post that praised a heckler who interrupted Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. The quick reversal has drawn criticism and debate over journalists publicly taking sides, particularly in coverage of contentious campaign events involving progressive Democrats.

Why now: A journalist publicly endorsing a candidate's heckler raises concerns about media impartiality during campaign season.
