[See NewsBusters for more.] Joe Biden broke with a long-standing norm and weighed in on the fight to unionize Amazon in Alabama. But rather than portray this as too controversial, CBS This Morning on Tuesday cheered the “historic” move and demonstration that, when it comes to workers, the President is “on their side.”  At least CBS covered it though. ABC and NBC on Monday night and Tuesday skipped the unusual move. Co-host Gayle King hyped, “There is a historic labor showdown taking place in Alabama involving the world’s largest online retailer. And now it’s drawing the attention of the White House…. This is a historic challenge to the internet giant at a time when Amazon is hires tens of thousands of people every month.”
