The Wrightwing

Jared Kushner, a 25 year old law student, somehow has the financial means to purchase controlling interest in one of the most influential, if moribund, newspapers in the nation.

Jared Kushner, the 25-year-old son of a wealthy New Jersey developer who was sentenced to prison last year, has bought The New York Observer, paying what one person familiar with details of the sale said was nearly $10 million for a majority stake in the weekly newspaper.

In a private, back room deal at that. How much you want to bet he is acting as a beard for his father, a notorious, if reclusive, power player in NJ politics?

The families habit of making huge donations, even before they are old enough to vote, has gotten them into hot water and even in jail.

So now they own a paper. Oh joy.

/SARCASM I guess we will finally see what a REAL liberal voice sounds like now. After all, who can trust those radical representatives of the Republican Right, The New York Times, the New York Daily News, The New York Post, or The Bergen Record, The Atlantic City Press and The Newark Star Ledger in NJ. Fronts for Pat Robertson and Dick Chaney, all of them. All of them I tells ya! /end-SARCASM

Just like a liberal to throw away money for ‘the cause’ in an attempt to buy influence through a centralized, controlled source. Maybe it will turn into another Air-America. I can only hope they bankrupt themselves before they succeed. Not likely though, when they have control of our wealth through the government they own.
