Sometimes, a contrast in events displays a pretty perfect example of partisan bias. It's just sad that the example comes from personnel at taxpayer-funded PBS. Sarah D. at Twitchy reported on PBS White House reporters and Washington Week host Yamiche Alcindor.
Both Trump and Biden have made statements about how the governors of the Other Party need to be ignored for a robust federal policy to address the coronavirus.
Last May, Alcindor was one of many liberal journalists to scold Trump for failing to understand federalism, that he couldn't simply "override the governors" (like then-adored Andrew Cuomo):
Pres Trump says he will "override the governors" if they don't follow new CDC guidance and open places of worship this weekend.

Context: The 10th Amendment of the Constitution says powers not delegated to federal government are reserved to the states. https://t.co/CmTrFY4HVB
But this week, Alcindor merely repeated Biden's very similar chatter, as if this time, righteous wisdom has announced itself:
Biden goes after GOP govs without saying names saying: Talk about bullying schools…If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I will use my powers as president to get them out of the way.

He added federal govt will restore 100% of pay for anyone targeted over mandates.
Notice that Biden is never "missing context," and never needs a lecture as if he's not smarter than a 5th grader on the Constitution. This was presented on Twitter, side by side:

This was part of a series of tweets where Alcindor just repeated everything Biden said, taking no exception to Biden claiming Republicans were "undermining" the fight against COVID. How Joy Reid-ish, like they're pro-COVID:
President Biden on the pandemic: "We are in the tough stretch and it could last for a while."
— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) September 9, 2021
He says 80 million Americans have "failed to get the shot" and that some elected officials are "actively working to undermine the fight against COVID-19."
Alcindor's eager promotion of everything White House extended to the First Lady, as you could see from scrolling her Twitter page:
PBS sounds like state-run TV....when the state is run by Democrats.
