Employees at Breitbart News have been asked by senior editors to refrain from writing stories critical of Jared Kushner, two people familiar with the matter told Business Insider.

The news comes after The New York Times reported over the weekend that Kushner had complained to President Donald Trump about the negative coverage he was receiving from the far-right website.

Kushner had become a target of Breitbart News amid reports that he was feuding with Stephen Bannon, the news website's former executive chairman.

On Wednesday night, for instance, Breitbart published three stories critical of Kushner and promoted them heavily on its homepage. The next day, Axios reported Bannon had told associates, "I love a gunfight." ..................

1. Omg....

Snowflakes are gonna snowflake I guess!

Meanwhile the country has to suffer while these guys fight like preschool toddlers. What a damn embarrassment

[forgotmylogin]

17. Well, that shows how legitimate of a news site they are.

[Honeycombe8]

23. Exactly. They don't print truth or real news.

They print stories that are written to appeal to a certain audience, and would be approved by the leaders in their party or organization.

Hard to believe that Bannon is so stupid as to think he can get away with arguing with any Trump family member, much less the key advisor to Trump. You don't go after the family. Duh! (That explains a lot about Bannon's arrogance and narcissism.)

[calimary]

28. Okay, so they've been "asked" or "instructed" to do so.

Whether they comply is another matter entirely, I suppose.

But I'd guess it might be hard not to play favorites.

[nycbos]

2. You lay down with the dogs you wake up with flees.

[Jonny Appleseed]

3. That's... actually odd... given how Bannon/Jared feel towards each other.

[bettyellen]

4. He's trying to hide the fact that their a pack of jackals at cross purposes with no central mission

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Almost all look at the screen, except Kushner & Bannon who are looking daggers at each other.

Note that Wilbur Ross, Commerce Secretary, is tRump's right hand man.

[secondwind]

8. to me, it looks like Jared is looking at Bannon, but Bannon is looking at the screen.

[Jonny Appleseed]

9. idk, maybe he's toggling between the two. Or he's mastered moving his eyes independently

[Honeycombe8]

24. +1. nt

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. Bwahahahahahaha!!! Bannon blinked!

[NCjack]

26. Bannon needs more firepower. Maybe he can marry Tiffany. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. When boy-Prez tRump has to tell Pres Bannon & SecEverything Kushner play nice, there are no adults.

[Nitram]

10. I heard they'er changing the name to "Trumpbart."

[Sunlei]

11. last couple weeks seemed to me trump was moving out the BF bannon. Trump will always side with

(wealthy) family. Kushners married to trumps daughter and they have two lovely children.

Even if she divorces Kushner someday, those Trump grand-kids/Trump daughter will retain/settle for millions of Kushners money and assets.

[Hortensis]

12. Enemy of my enemy is my friend definitely applies.

I don't know how good or bad Kushner will turn out to be ultimately, but he's probably a decent, ordinary 36-year-old who's still learning what he believes in and is currently in way over his head, while Bannon is literally the kind of man who could be deliberately responsible for 50,000,000 deaths.

[LiberalLovinLug]

13. The enemy of my enemy should be exploited of course

But I do not consider Kushner a decent, ordinary person. Firstly he obviously chose to hang around that family while courting Ivanka, knowing the kind family beliefs they held. Then once in the family, he didn't distance himself from his father-in-law after not only recently with the ET bus tapes, and everything else he has said and done during the election cycle, but as far back as when he was lying about Obama not being born in the US.

At the very least he could have recused himself and said he wanted to concentrate on running his businesses. But by jumping all in, he is saying that he agrees with every disgusting deplorable word or action that his bug ugly orange asshole father-in-law does or says.

[Honeycombe8]

25. Well, Kushner's dad went to prison for big-time fraud.

So there's that. All Kushner has ever done in his life is run his dad's "business" after dad went to prison. Christie was the prosecutor, which explains why Christie was booted from the transition team or any other spot.

[renate]

14. that's what I think too

There are plenty of people here whose parents watch Fox or have unappealing political and social views. I don't think Ivanka or Jared have any more of an obligation to disown her dad than people here have an obligation to disown theirs.

It may be Pollyanna-ish of me but I suspect that Ivanka and Jared are doing their sincere best to keep the alt-right types from taking over. If my dad were a Fox viewer and he were the President of the United States I would consider it my duty to try to influence him in a positive way the best I could. Alienating him and repudiating his views publicly would mean there would be no counterbalance left.

I'm not about to start an Ivanka and Jared fan club, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Like almost everyone there, they're complete neophytes, but they're probably doing their best. I'd rather have them there than not.

[Sgent]

16. I also know the synagogue they attended

in New York, and they are so liberal that the Israeli rabbinate doesn't consider the Rabbi eligible to perform conversions recognized in Israel. (Note, Ivanka studied primarily under that rabbi but underwent the actual conversion with a more traditional group of rabbis for her actual conversion -- for just this reason).

Keep in mind, this is the liberal side of Orthodox Judaism, but that means pro gay-rights, including secular marriage, etc. Actually all types of social justice are part of the movement. Abraham Heschel would fit right into that congregatiion.

[Hortensis]

20. Good points, and agree.

I think we can assume that Kushner had absolutely no idea Rump could become president when he chose to marry Ivanka. But they both have an absolute duty now that no one else can fulfill.

[not fooled]

15. So...if you get negative press

from a crackpot propaganda rag, does it count?

I guess when dump is reading these stories about pwecious widdle jared, it does.



A pox on all their houses.

[FreepFryer]

18. Any 'news' outlet w/such ideological/target-based mindset underlying their editorial is FAKE NEWS.

[FreepFryer]

19. It's deeply corrupt for a media outlet to willingly encourage or discourage 'hit pieces'.

Comprehensive media reform is coming - de-spamming, sockpuppet/botcrushing, and a new Fairness Doctrine will be among the bitter pills the next Democratic government will force down their authoritarian, hack throats.

[Blue_Tires]

21. So they got the memo...

I'll just leave this here and see myself out:

22. White House Barbie......

Ivanka must have told Daddy to intervene. We can't have a "fake news" site like Not-So-Breitbart reporting real news about hubby. Not-So-Breitbart had better be careful. White House Barbie might call in a Tomahawk missile strike. She's getting a taste for it now, and all subsequent strikes will be a lot easier to call. DADDY...................

[Hekate]

27. If Bannon gets shuffled out of the WH, I look forward to what he says about the Trump Crime Family.

He's not the type to maintain a modest and loyal silence, is he?

[Initech]

29. Bannon is expendable. Erik Prince is the real brains of this whole thing.

Bannon is a useful idiot, and Trump will get rid of him when his services are no longer required. Breitbart is all but state run television. But the real brains of the operation are still yet to be exposed.
