Jared Kushner, President Donald Trumps son-in-law and close adviser, met with a senior Time Warner Inc. executive in recent weeks and expressed the administrations deep concerns about CNNs news coverage, according to a White House official and other people familiar with the matter.
In a meeting at the White House, Mr. Kushner complained to Gary Ginsberg, executive vice president of corporate marketing and communications at CNNs parent Time Warner, about what Mr. Kushner feels is unfair coverage slanted against the president, the people said.
The Trump administrations hostile posture toward the news media, especially CNN, has been evident in the presidents own statements and those of his press secretary and top aides. On Thursday, Mr. Trump lashed into CNN once again at a news conference, calling it very fake news with expert commentary that is almost exclusively anti-Trump.
But the anti-CNN push isnt just a public display meant to rally Mr. Trumps supporters. Behind the scenes, Mr. Kushner, the real-estate scion who until recently owned the New York Observer newspaper, has been pushing the issue with Time Warner executives including CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker. .....................

What are his qualifications for discussing mass media...beyond what I would be able to do?
While I am suspicious whenever media outlets buy each other up and too much of the press power is concentrated with just a few companies, this talk of them stopping the deal makes me wonder what is up.
I am thinking the tRump family is perhaps considering getting into the major media market, just like how they buy up other types of companies and act like they have some sort expertise in the field. (wine, steaks, "universities"
.
If Obama had said things like this about the press, I would have not taken it seriously. It is very petty and not much like a good president to accuse the media of the things this orange man has. If he wants to be believed (by anyone beyond his supporters) he should say "Station xyz has said this and here is the proof that that was not true". Nothing he is saying about the "fake media" has any substance to it, but his supporters are eating it up.
he has to whatever they say!
