Well I guess they will push that through the process quickly as well-- jam it all in trumpstyle.
I am not in agreement with this at all - I see much conflict of interest going in behind those walls.
A man whose parents bought his way into college, and was not smart enough to read a newspaper that was written at the college level (and he happened to own), will be advising the POTUS on high-level matters. I hope he has advisors that can dumb issues down for him, so he can dumb them down for Trump.

Beyond a few kind words for Kaplan, though, Kushner said little about the paper’s content, emphasizing its “elite readership” and “phenomenal brand,” while seeming only slightly familiar with the Observer itself. He appeared to view it coolly, as a badly-managed company with a solid name that he could leverage to turn its books from red to black. In journalism, an aloof owner is often preferable. But the reasons for Kushner’s reticence about the Observer soon became clearer: He didn’t like it. “I found the paper unbearable to read,” he told New York in 2009. “It was like homework.”
To address Kushner’s concerns, Kaplan collaborated with him on a tabloid redesign that accommodated a larger volume of shorter articles. Kushner envisioned it as “New York Post goes to college.” Some, however, found his taste incompatible with the paper’s traditions. He couldn’t believe that the elite readers he’d coveted were fond of the same articles he found boring. “Jared didn’t understand what made the Observer valuable,” a longtime editor who worked closely with Kaplan told me. “With the reconfiguration, it was almost like we had to have two things going on: communicate to the sophisticated audience that loved it, but also communicate to Jared in a form he could understand.”
they opened a new thread on the same-- this one needs to be combined
