This portion of the article is why the news media is no longer respected as an unbiased reporter of true facts. I was interested and intrigued by what I had read about Steven Kushner, and inclined to believe what I read and then I came to this section.

"He brought the Silicon Valley ethos, which values openness and inclusiveness, to a campaign that promised closed borders, trade protection and religious exclusion. He is the scion of prodigious Democratic donors yet steered a Republican presidential campaign. A grandson of Holocaust survivors who serves a man who has advocated a ban on war refugees. A fact-driven lawyer whose chosen candidate called global warming a hoax, linked vaccines to autism and challenged President Obama’s citizenship. A media mogul in a campaign stoked by fake news. A devout Jew advising a president-elect embraced by the alt-right and supported by the KKK."

The author generalizes every negative claim made about Trump and establishes them as being unquestionably true and then uses the premise to compare to Kushner. Okay, I see that the author isn't a true news reporter. He's a persuasive writer, more interested in "shaping" the news and peoples thoughts, rather than report news and let the people draw their own conclusions. Until the news media corrects itself, alternative news media will flourish.

It is a fact that many on Free Republic toil constantly in the vineyards of sour grapes. Intolerance bubbles up in the face of reality

The in depth piece is describing the Son in Law of the President elect that praises his actions that to some might seem antithetical to his position and upbringing. The man performed in a remarkable manner choosing to place duty above long held antithetical values.

To condemn the writer for doing a very good job is just foolish
