Ivanka is a senior advisor to the president. Why doesn't the media treat her like one?

The morning after Donald Trump became only the third president in U.S. history to be impeached, his senior adviser Ivanka Trump — who also doubles as his eldest daughter — sat down for a rare interview with CBS “Face The Nation” host Margaret Brennan.
“Face the Nation” has been on air since 1954 and is considered to be one of the most prestigious and high-profile interview shows on American television. Yet Brennan’s interview with Ivanka — which was released in full on Sunday morning, and pegged to the new policy of paid parental leave for federal government workers — could be considered a low point in the show’s storied 65-year history.
Don’t believe me? Here are three of the first four questions that Brennan asked Ivanka about her father’s historic impeachment:
“Has he made peace with it?”
“What is your dad’s mood right now?”
“Do you think he’s getting good counsel from Rudy Giuliani?”
At one point, referring to Trump’s deranged six-page letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in which he referenced the Salem witch trials, Brennan told Ivanka that her father “seemed angry.”
Are you kidding me? Is this what CBS and Brennan consider to be journalism? Holding power to account? Asking tough questions?
