Senior editors at pro-Trump website Breitbart News have instructed staff members to stop writing critical stories of Jared Kushner, sources tell Business Insider.
Kushner, son-in-law and adviser to President Trump, has clashed recently with White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, the former CEO of Breitbart News.
The New York Times previously reported that “Kushner allies have also raised the issue with the president of the increasingly unflattering coverage that Mr. Kushner is receiving from Breitbart News.”
Trump reportedly told the populist Bannon and the more moderate Kushner to “work this out” after the pair’s feud was repeatedly dragged out into the press, according to the Times.

Breitbart ran stories critical of Kushner before Trump reportedly ordered the ceasefire.
One Breitbart story suggested Kushner was leaking negative information about Bannon to the press, while another ran down a list of “delicate problems” Trump has trusted Kushner — who, the article accurately noted, “boasts a thin resume in diplomacy.”
Breitbart pushed back against the Business Insider report. “It is an absurd suggestion that Breitbart would muzzle critical coverage of any senior White House official,” a spokesman for the site said.
IMHO a lot of the problem here and on another site I frequent, is that people who are/were Trump supporters are believing the media, which is nonstop propaganda designed to cause the very reaction we are seeing.
In short, taking Trump’s supporters away from him, so Dems/Rinos can get elected in 2018, and a different president in 2020. I think that is what it is all about, and foolish people are falling for the gambit.
“Oh, Trump never meant what he said, he hasn’t done enough yet (in less than three months!), he’s a tool of the (fill in the blank), he’s weak/misled/controlled by the Kushners, a warmonger” etcetc.
Of course this is the agenda, and the RINOs in the House and Senate aren’t helping. They are doing everything they can to torpedo Trump without getting their fingerprints on it.
He’s surrounded on all points of the compass by enemies, OUR enemies! And weak sisters just believe the lying Fake News, it’s disheartening. I think a thread listing Trump’s achievements despite all his adversaries would be a very good thing. Ongoing, since his achievements are continuing.
It was here on FR and gave the source of the interview. I just don’t recall which one.
Agreed. I’d guess it was a friendly observation that certain coverage wasn’t helping the cause, at least at the moment—but you are right.
Then there’s the problem with Ivanka and Chelsea being besties
“who would look more dashing sticking their head with a helmet on it from a tank?. duke or jared?
After seeing Jared’s tough guy fashion statement, I think Dukakis is owed an apology! He looked like General MacArthur in comparison to Jared! /s;)
If Breitbart drops the torch, I hope someone catches it and keeps running!
The Trump revolution belongs to PATRIOTS, not to a RINO who is associated with Gorelick of all people!
The Gorelick Wall has 9-11 Ground Zero blood on its hands !!!!!!!
Gorelick also cashed in on FAnnie/FReddie corruption, the primary trigger of our 2008 meltdown.
She’s up to her eyeballs in Clinton corruption and the worst scandals of this century TO-DATE, and what is she again????
The ETHICS advisor?
Nauseating.
Gorelick also repped BP in the oil spill.
I am told that Breitbart is having real trouble. After Milo issue, the younger people really abandoned BB. They haven’t recovered from Bannon’s departure organizationally (and, I suspect in terms of funding).
Meanwhile you have to ask yourself, which is more important, that Bannon stay and have Trump’s ear, or that Breitbart criticizes Kushner whenever it feels like it and contributes to getting Bannon fired?
Nothing is free, and you never get both.
Very sad that the well-organized destroyers of reputations have taken out Milo. He was the funniest, darkest, most un-politically correct of that generation, Nipped in the bud. Bob Creamer, Rabid Brock, John Pederasta are like the Stasi of the New New American Left. They’re chiseling away at Bannon. They won’t stop. As that ugly punk said on Project Veritas video, Creamer is diabolical. He visited Obama’s regime weekly. It is unbelievable that they are taking America apart in plain sight.
Unbelievable that so many give no one on our side credit at all. Bannon is fine. “I love a gunfight,” as he put it.
Bannon quite successfully keeps himself behind the scenes so he’s not the story. But the Left has targeted him, that’s all I’m saying. The only thing I’m concerned about is that he take care of his health.
