This new installment of the short video series “Media Misses” by Mark Jacob and me looks at a story by The Hill about Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner saying he won’t rejoin the administration if Trump wins. In a journalistically unacceptable omission, the story doesn’t mention that Kushner got a $2 billion investment from the Saudis after his friendly treatment of the Saudi dictator when he was in the White House. Nor does it mention the role of crown prince Mohammed bin Salman’s reported role in the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Kashoggi.
