PRESIDENT BANNON IS NOT AMUSED:
To Defend Bannon, Breitbart Has Opened Fire On The President's Son-In-Law (Matt Gertz, April 7, 2017, National Memo)
Breitbart.com, the pro-Trump propaganda outlet previously run by White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, is now being deployed against President Donald Trump's son-in-law and top White House staffer Jared Kushner as part of an internal power struggle.Over the past week -- as Kushner and Bannon have reportedly feuded -- the website has published articles highlighting Kushner's meetings with the Russian ambassador, questioning the ethics of his business dealings, criticizing his "thin resume in diplomacy," and speculating about whether he is leaking negative stories about Bannon.Those attacks represent a U-turn in the website's coverage of the president's family. Following Trump's election and in the early days of his administration, Breitbart provided Kushner and his wife, Ivanka, with soft-focus celebrity coverage.
