Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, admitted that a key detail of his article about Trump could be wrong during an interview with CNN on Sunday.
“When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed the rain for the last-minute decision, saying ‘the helicopter couldn’t fly’ and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true,” Goldberg wrote in his piece published last week. According to Goldberg, President Trump was overheard saying he wanted to cancel the trip to the cemetery because “it’s filled with losers.”
At least fifteen Trump administration officials who were with Trump on that trip have now disputed the Atlantic report, including former national security adviser John Bolton.
FOIA documents have also definitively proved that Trump’s visit to the cemetery was canceled due to weather. When Goldberg was asked about evidence that the cancelation was due to inclement weather, he admitted that it was likely true.
“I’m sure all of those things are true,” he told CNN.
This admission by Goldberg completely undermines his entire story. Goldberg claimed the trip wasn’t canceled because of weather. Evidence proves this claim is false. Goldberg now admits that weather causing the cancellation is true. Why should we believe anything else in the story when the foundation of it is admitted to be incorrect?

the lying media are very powerful in this nation
they are unified in the false narrative
few people will accept the depth and breadth of organized wickedness
I only became critical of the media about 15 years ago when I was at an event and what was broadcast on national tv was polar opposite of what actually occurred. Then my eyes began to open. Bigly.
“Ministry of Truth”.
Arrest Goldberg today on felony election fraud charges.
Do not wait.
Make an example out of him.
If Donald Trump can fake a weather report why can’t he solve global warming?
Yes there was damage. The credibility of The Atlantic was damaged.
No but he’s part of that cabal...the Neo Con never Trump wing
Former freeper as u know
And a royal asshole
This story had the Shelf Life of a Box of Donuts at a Jerry Nadler Fundraiser at one of Michael Moore's Mansions.
Talk about ocean pollution!
Just a matter of time before they start trotting out the whores again.
We have the same thing here.The purpose of this lie was to weaken support for the President among active duty...and retired...members of the Armed Forces.And there can be no doubt that at least *some* (but perhaps not many) fell for it.And among them we know that very,very few will have heard this admission.
IOW,mission accomplished.
If it’s a leftist, if it’s a Progressive, if it’s a Democrat it’s lying.
The story will go on to say that if convicted on all counts the President could get seventy years at Attica.
I guess the "We don't know what the hell we're talking about." retraction will be on page E-19 again.
is this JONAH Goldberg? What ever happened to this idiot? Does he actually WANT Biden to win?
Don’t confuse Jeffrey Goldberg with Jonah Goldberg. They’re two different people.
Yet everyone in this hyper-patriotic family reads the Atlantic.
Makes one go HHHMMMMM?
Do you really think everybody in the Military is that stupid?
You do realize that we were all trained in the concept of the OODA loop, don’t you.
The ‘decide-act’ portion of that loop gives us the ability to adapt to new circumstances and information.
Those few who would have even believed such an accusation to begin with.
All of us (even OLD vets like me), know PROPAGANDA when we hear it!
The Atlantic is a propaganda arm of the neocon scum - these neocon scum used to operate freely on this very forum.
Yes, this story fits Rush’s label “The drive-by media.’
