And yet another indicator that the mainstream media is rife with corruption and conflicts of interest,

CNN has now hired Laura Jarrett, daughter of Valerie Jarrett, to cover President Trump's Department of Justice.

As the Blaze report, CNN touted Jarrett's background defending companies and individuals in government investigations brought by the Justice Department.

Valerie Jarrett wasn't just President Obama's top advisor.

She's also personally close to the Obamas, to the extent that she's reportedly moving in with them in their new Washington, D.C. D. D. Jarritt called Trump's election a punch in the stomach, soul-crushing. According to Vanity Fair, Laura Jarrett, is dedicated to, quote, promoting civil rights and social equality for women and minorities. So she's probably going to be completely objective about the Trump administration. You'd think, right? Look, this is nothing new from the mainstream media Democratic Party complex. Ben Rhodes, the national security advisor to President Obama, who actively lied to the entire media about the Iran deal, is brothers to David Rhodes, president of CBS, ABC News correspondent, Claire Shipman. She's the wife of Jake Carney, former Obama Press Secretary. George Stephanopoulos, ABC News's leading anchor. He's a former Clinton staffer.

Ben Sherwood, president of Disney ABC Television Group, is brother to former Obama's special

assistant, Elizabeth Sherwood Randall. The media claim that such relationships have no

bearing on coverage. Maybe, or maybe. People with close relationships to those in power tend to favor those

people in their coverage. After all, that's the entire basis of the rumors about President Trump's

conflicts of interest with regard to his businesses, which are now supposedly run by his kids.

Their relationship makes him more likely to acting corrupt fashion to benefit those businesses.

Why wouldn't that same logic apply to the media?

There's nothing wrong with assigning Valerie Jarrett's kid to cover the DOJ, but there is something wrong with pretending objectivity when it is clearer every single day that such

objectivity is a figment of the media's imagination. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Okay, lots to talk about today.

We'll start with everything going on with Jeff Sessions in just a moment.
