CNN "opinion" is about as useful as teats on a boar hog
Doesn’t follow real news and proud of it. We know you’re a propaganda monger.
I wonder if either of you read the article. In fact, I wonder if the OP even read the article, of if the poster just watched the CNN video that were slamming on Kushener. The write up actually was telling the folks in America what Kushner has been up too.
Frankly, I hadn't a clue what he as been up to, b/c the media really doesn't give a shit about covering, well, news anymore these days, does it?
So NEWS is relegated to the
opinion pages, and
opinion is in the
headline section, isn't that odd?
Only in the MSM in 2018.
From the editorial;
"But you would be hard-pressed to find much positive media coverage of these or Kushner's other achievements. A barrage of contrived smear stories about Kushner's interactions with CEOs or security clearance dominate -- attacks clearly fueled by those who resent Kushner's plans to change Washington."

"Kushner noted on Tuesday, "I could not understand why medical records from the Department of Defense could not be seamlessly transferred to the Veteran's Administration... Our military is the most advanced on Earth, yet we cannot get the medical records from DoD to VA." The new system will help ensure that our nation's heroes do not fall through the cracks.
Kushner's work to help the VA innovate its technology is part of a more systemic and ongoing effort to bring government technology into the 21st century. In December, the American Technology Council, which Kushner's office oversees, released 50 recommendations to address the so-called "plumbing" issues in government -- the slow and defunct way that government agencies operate, often hindering the ability to serve the American people. According to Federal News Radio, 71% of the government's budget is spent on old, "legacy" technology. Kushner and the teams he oversees are already working to change that.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is in particular need. As a part of the technological innovation plan developed by the American Technology Council under the direction of Kushner's Office of American Innovation, the USDA would reduce the number of chief information officers from 22 to just one. In line with this, the USDA would also reduce its data centers from 39 to one. The streamlining and consolidation of the USDA has a focused goal: "improv[ing] the USDA customer experience" and making its programs "easy-to-use" for the American people through online customer portals.
In explaining the repercussions of these efforts, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Censky said back in December, "[R]ather than each agency within a mission area having their own human resources people, their own procurement, their own property, their own IT officers, we are rolling that up to the business centers, which we think it's a much [more] effective way to be organized."
