Media Bias in Two Separate FrontPage Headlines (Comey then and now)

Not that any of us need further proof the media is corrupt and bias but here are two front pages of the NY Daily News.  The on on the left is from 10/31/2016 and the one on the right is from 5/10/2017

How Dare Trump Fire Comey! The Left’s shameless hypocrisy on the firing of the FBI Director. May 11, 2017 Daniel Greenfield

Before the election, Nancy Pelosi had hinted that Hillary would fire FBI Director James Comey.

"Maybe he's not in the right job," the House Dem leader had coyly suggested. "I think that we have to just get through this election and just see what the casualties are along the way."

The FBI Director was at risk of becoming a “casualty” over his handling of the Hillary investigation.

There was no outrage and no front page editorials at the New York Times and the Washington Post. No comparisons to Watergate or calls for an investigation. A top Dem suggesting that the FBI Director would have to leave because he was investigating another top Dem was just “good government.”

And there would have been none of the hypocritical media outcry if the election had gone another way and Comey were being told to pack his bags by President Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager had also hinted that Comey might have to step down because of his bias against Hillary. Now he claims that Trump’s firing of Comey “terrifies” him.

After Comey’s letter, Schumer had declared, “I do not have confidence in him any longer.” That is what top government officials say before demanding someone’s job. But now Schumer is outraged. "If we don't get a special prosecutor, every American will rightfully suspect that the decision to fire #Comey was part of a cover-up," he tweeted.

Were the Dem calls for Comey to resign also part of a cover-up?

Harry Reid had called on Comey to resign. Congressman Steve Cohen even wrote an op-ed titled, “For the Sake of the FBI, Comey Should Resign.” Now he touts Comey as a recipient for the Profiles in Courage award and accuses Trump of firing him because Comey “threatened his presidency.”

From Comey must go for investigating Hillary to Comey must get an award for investigating Trump. Did Cohen want Comey to resign then because he threatened Hillary Clinton’s presidency? ------------------------------------------------------------

So did Trump fire the guy investigating his Russian connections, or the guy, who cost Hillary the election? Choose your narrative quickly.— Ben Smith (@BenSmithDC) May 9, 2017

Basically shows how these people are about the dullest in the world, being so predictable in that fashion. Kind of also shows how the news is too important a thing to be handled by journalists.

The media reporters are doing a slow coup against our President. They are lynching Trump with scurrilous lies.

These jackals of the media are pure evil.

The media are the enemy of the American people and of Trump.

Trump's “crime” is that he wanted to make America great again and didn't bow down to socialism.

Comey is going to be the BUTT of so many jokes.

Gregg Jarretts comment about running for the cameras was choice

Some one should do a parody on a horse race with Comey, mc Cane and Maxine. And They’re off...... That may be mental

The NY Daily News is probably the single most vile far left hysterical bomb throwing rag in the country.

They are floundering badly as well. Cannot wait until they go under. It won’t be long at this point with how far circulation has fallen.
