    Actually, I likes this picture, because it centers on her, which it should, and he's sort of the out-of-focus son-in-law. Great photography. She is most lovely. I hear she will be on the cover of Taxidermy Today. #jaredkushner

    @registered: I agree that Ivanka's looks great but did she really need all that platic surgery to begin with? Ivanka can look absolutely stunning but sometimes she looks too plastic.
    I've seen older photographs of her and she was a pretty girl. I think it's sad when young women feel like they need to change their appearance drastically.
    In Ivanka's case I'm not surprised because of who her father is. Having a sexist father who judges women's worth by their weight and appearance can pressure a girl to do what Ivanka did. #jaredkushner

    @brittneylee: I'm not too familiar with the earlier Ivanka, but I remember the shock at her mother's transformation. I wouldn't blame all the surgery on Daddy Trump.

    He would have paid for it without asking, though. Nobody has ever accused a Trump of good taste. At least Ivanka didn't wind up a horror story like the Bride of Wildenstein. #jaredkushner

    I remember asking a professor in a journalism class that I took a few years ago about the White House Press Corps. I was confused that papers would waste that kind of money to leave people in DC who essentially hear press conferences. My teacher, who is a pretty big name at Newsweek, was baffled at my suggestion. This is why papers are dying #newspapers

    I might quibble on one point. The biggest reason to lament the decline of newspapers is not the loss of jobs, as awful as that is, but the implications for the future of democracy. #newspapers

    @Smitros: In my opinion the newspapers are in such bad shape because they decided to not care about the future of democracy. There are questions that should have been asked and stories that should have been investigated that were not. The journalist used to be a protector of freedom and a seeker of truth. Now they are one sided hacks. Once in a blue moon when a journalist does ask a somewhat decent question they never follow through and end up allowing politicians to get out of answering the question. #newspapers

    @sir_pantsalot: We may be grasping different parts of the elephant, or the chicken and the egg, or some animal metaphor. Newspapers stopped caring about democracy when they got bought up or consultantized into entities that were run to resemble businesses with higher historical profit margins--hence the erosion of the line between editorial and advertising. (Pursuant to the latter, did anyone see the WaPo op-ed last week on the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Revolution? It was appalling largely by its existence.) #newspapers

    Reminds me of the scene in the 1942 Tracy-Hepburn movie Woman of the Year. He's a sportswriter, she is an upper-crust political columnist who grew up abroad and is unfamiliar with common pleasures like baseball. He takes her to a Yankees game. She is astonished that their newspaper has two men covering the game: "We have only one man at Vichy!" (To which Tracy playfully replies, "Vichy? Are they still in the league?") #newspapers
