Kennedy Center, Washington
AH Trump has appointed two female presenters on his favorite Fox channel, Maria Bartiromo, Laura Ingraham to the Kennedy Center board Kulturkommentator Roger Friedman said » It’s clear now that Donald Trump wants to kill off the Kennedy Center. (…) They are each Trump sycophants, extremely right wing, and have no business being there.
They are also both white, which means no effort has been made to diversify his new board. There remains not a single Black person on the board. The new board now features many women without qualifications but who are married to wealthy men. Bartiromo, a disgrace as a news person, calls Jonathan Steinberg, a Republican billionaire, her husband. He’s the son of billionaire Saul Steinberg. »
Froredman also sees in conflict of interest in this nomination: « Naming Fox News anchors to any appointments in the government would ordinarily constitute a conflict of interest. If Biden or Obama had put a CNN or MSNBC anchor on that board, the howling from Republicans would have been deafening. »
