"Suggest that some close to Kushner thought" citing unnamed mind readers is not journalism.

I love how unnamed sources have become the only sources for journalists. Back in the day if you didn't name 3 sources, you couldn't run the article.
I guess verifying the truth doesn't matter any more.

"Members of Jared Kushner's coronavirus task force considered a national-scale testing plan early in the US's coronavirus outbreak.", "The source suggested that some close to Kushner thought it was best to hold back and blame governors.\n• Kushner's plan was indeed dropped in favor of a mainly state-by-state response."
'Several states, both red and blue, have seen significant increases in coronavirus cases since beginning to ease lockdowns. '
'However, according to a new Vanity Fair report, the plan never came to be, partly because the task force thought it would be better politically to hold off. '
'Since then, cases have surged in states on both sides of the political divide. '
