NYT's Double Standards Exposed as Comey Indictment Highlights Media Bias

The New York Times’ editorial board has once again revealed its blatant double standards in reporting on justice system cases involving political figures. Recently, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on charges of providing false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. However, instead of focusing on the merits of the case, the Times chose to lambast the indictment, claiming it plunges the country into a "grave new period" and undermines the rule of law.

This contrasts sharply with the Times’ previous stance when former President Donald Trump was indicted. At that time, the paper hailed the move as a necessary step to preserve the integrity of the justice system. The Times’ hypocrisy is glaring: when a Democrat-aligned figure like Comey is indicted, it’s portrayed as a crisis; when a Republican like Trump is charged, it’s presented as a triumph of the rule of law.

The editorial board’s hysteria is further undercut by the fact that the grand jury declined to pursue a third false statement charge, indicating that the charges against Comey are credible and not politically motivated. Yet, the Times continues to push the narrative that Trump is “persecuting” his enemies, ignoring the evidence that Comey’s actions warrant accountability.

The Times’ bias is not an accident—it is part of a broader pattern of serving as a propaganda tool for the Democratic Party. When Trump was investigated and indicted, the Times celebrated it as a victory for justice. Now, with Comey facing charges, the same paper is crying foul, revealing its true colors as a partisan outlet with little regard for fairness or objectivity.

This double standard undermines the credibility of the Times and highlights the dangers of a justice system influenced by political agendas. As the country grapples with these issues, it is clear that the media’s role in shaping public perception cannot be ignored.
