Yesterday Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that a federal grand jury has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice.
Much of the media spin is to put the focus on Trump and not on the actual allegations of wrongdoing on the party of Comey.
Ari Fleischer spotted more examples of "journalism," Washington Post and New York Times-style:

But now, it’s all about Trump getting his enemies. pic.twitter.com/ggrR9jAm4U

Now we're to believe the Comey indictment (not to mention the FBI raid of John Bolton's house where reportedly classified documents were found) are some sort of unprecedented events. Please.
