'Helicopter' press

Posted June 04, 2017 1:00 am

Reference DH: "Kushner sought secret talks?" of May 27. OK,, let me get this straight. An adviser to President Trump (Jared Kushner) talked to the Russian ambassador to set up a secret (secure) line of communication with Russia. This happened after President Trump's election and in the middle of unprecedented USA intelligence leaks. Uh, and the story is ...?

THIS would be a story: "Amid unprecedented USA intelligence leaks, Trump adviser REFUSES to set up secret (secure) line of communication." The media seems to be imitating helicopter parents: "You are voted into office and are expected to be out on your own; however, we will continue to monitor and second guess your every move. How dare you try to have a conversation behind closed doors?"
