Pathetic
In March 2018 he published an interview and series of columns that promoted a conspiracy theory regarding Ukraine advanced by associates of Rudy Giuliani. This led to further outcry from staff,
In 2019, CNN reported that Finkelstein was interfering in the editorial independence of the paper in an inappropriate way to minimize criticism of American President Donald Trump.
Trump himself has also privately acknowledged his relationship with Finkelstein. During an Oval Office interview with The Hill, according to a person with direct knowledge of the incident, Trump asked one of the outlet's staffers to send along his greetings to Finkelstein. "Tell Jimmy I said hello," Trump told the staffer.
Finkelstein's wife, Pamela Gross, who worked at CNN but left in 2017, is close with Melania Trump. Gross threw a baby shower for Melania Trump, according to a person familiar with the event.

New York City auctioned off extra ventilators due to cost of maintenance: report
New York City auctioned off hundreds of city-owned ventilators at least five years ago under Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration, according to an investigation by ProPublica.
The city acquired the ventilators in 2006 under former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration, when a new strain of the flu was circulating in Asia, according to a report from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene obtained by the news outlet.
The city began to acquire ventilators and "stockpile a supply of facemasks," which were later auctioned off because the machines broke down and the health department "couldn't afford to maintain them," according to ProPublica.
Years later, the city has become the epicenter of the novel coronavirus in the U.S., with 72,324 confirmed cases and at least 5,489 deaths throughout the five boroughs, the mayor reported Tuesday.
The 14-year-old report obtained by ProPublica shows the city was keenly aware of the consequences of a potential pandemic, almost predicting the exact scenario that played out this year, according to the investigative outlet.
"Since the pandemic will be widespread in the United States, the supplies from the federal Strategic National Stockpile may not be available and local caches will need to be relied upon," the 2006 report said.
The news from ProPublica comes as states and cities scramble to gather ventilators and other medical supplies - often competing with one another for such equipment - as the pandemic grips the country.
On Friday, de Blasio warned that New York City would run out of its supply of ventilators by Monday or Tuesday and that the city is in dire need of medical personnel. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) warned on Thursday that the state would run out of its stockpile of ventilators within the next six days if it didn't receive further assistance.
A similar report from The Nation showed U.S. military and intelligence officials were aware of the specific consequences of a pandemic but did not take action on reports filed by medical staff.

Thats what Faucci said last sunday, but back as late as march 9th he was saying something entirely different.Again you cite the fact that he toes the Adminstration line he admits he was forced to toe.
He admits now that administration line, a talking point forced upon him by the Trump Press Secretary, was misleading and inaccurate. Remember how outraged you were about misleading talking points when Benghazi hearings were happening?
The Trump White House forced it's officials to lie to the public and that has cost thousands of American lives. - and to make you care even slightly about that some of them were rich White people.
Four died at Benghazi, right?
How many so far from the virus?
