One of many negative effects that the Comey Indictment has wreaked upon the Acela Media is its inducement of a 180-degree activate prosecutions perceived to be political. It’s (D)ifferent, you see, now that Resistance FBI Director James Comey goes to face trial.
Watch as The New Yorker’s Dave Remnick expresses Unusual New Dread for such processes on the newest broadcast of NBC’s Meet the Depressed:
OH, NOW IT’S A PROBLEM: The New Yorker’s David Remnick laments the prosecution of James Comey

NBC MEET THE PRESS

DAVID REMNICK: I believe we must always take the president at his phrase. It was in 2016 and Trump 1.0, I assume, that it was thought of the peak of knowledge that the press takes Trump actually and the folks take him significantly, after which vice versa. I believe it is doable to do each on the identical time. The president is telling us that he has an enemies checklist that he will act on. He is advised us who’s on the enemies checklist: John Bolton, Letitia James, Fani Willis should be on her guard- and plenty of extra whether or not they’re within the press or civic society. I believe this can be a actual emergency, and it ought to be taken significantly, and know that he will act on it. It isn’t simply blather out on the White Home garden. That is the distinction between the primary time period and the second time period. The primary time period was crammed with impulses and the second time period is environment friendly, ruthless and it is occurring on daily basis. This motion towards authoritarianism could be very distinct and must be taken significantly. This isn’t only a regular, you realize, we talked a couple of finances battle. That is regular politics. That is one thing extraordinary.
That is however the newest contortion for the famous Obama sycophant, who amongst different issues stated that the way forward for the Earth held on Trump’s impeachment. This little little bit of that 2019 section with Brian Stelter stands out (emphasis mine):
REMNICK: And proper now you will have a rustic that’s break up, and to nice frustration of individuals such as you and folks like me, we do not by some means perceive. We do not perceive why the proof of issues, why information do not penetrate so a lot of our brothers and sisters in america of America. And this can be a supply of nice frustration for the press.
Within the Yr of Our Lord 2025, one may moderately marvel why Remnick hasn’t but been penetrated by the stream of information resulting in Comey’s indictment. However the reality is that there’s a physique of proof, and there may be an indictment handed down by a grand jury.
There was an entire lot of “extraordinary” main as much as this second that Remnick cheered and celebrated. Now that the present is on the opposite foot, he reminds us that if it weren’t for double requirements, the Acela Media would have none in any respect.
