Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic are absolute garbage
Flopping Aces ^ | 10-23-24 | DrJohn

Posted on 10/24/2024 7:02:37 AM PDT by Starman417

Jeffrey Goldberg is a monster. An evil monster. So is the Atlantic magazine. Both should be destroyed. They have loosed a horrible hoax on America and the left-wing media have seized upon it.

Goldberg wrote an article allegedly quoting former Gen John Kelly:

Retired Gen. John Kelly, who served as White House chief of staff in the Trump administration, said former President Trump praised Adolf Hitler’s generals for their loyalty in a new interview in The Atlantic on Tuesday.

In the interview with editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, Kelly affirmed reporting from Peter Baker and Susan Glasser’s book, “The Divider: Trump in the White House,” which quoted Trump asking Kelly, his chief of staff at the time, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?”

The White House Muppet jumped on the story

The cheap trick known as Norah O'Donnell repeated the story without question.

"Two weeks from Election Day, as the final battleground sprint is underway. Every hour matters for these candidates as they try to reach as many voters as possible in the key states that will decide this election. For Donald Trump, that meant speaking at a roundtable in Florida at his golf club courting the Latino vote. After that campaign stop, a report that Trump while President use the F-word to describe the murder of Mexican-American soldier. That story is that Trump scoffed the price of a funeral he offered to pay for Private Vanessa Guillen, something Trump's team tonight denies."

Well, it's not only Trump's team that denies it.

And WTH gives with General John Kelly?
Trump trusted him as CoS for 2 years.
TDS shifted onto Trump as part of the grief process from losing his son?
In a war Trump openly declared was a useless waste of life and resources?

Certainly not the way it’s being blown up. Why not just claim Trump said “There were some really good naughtZees.”. Still think he should quit using her name and instead “my failed opponent” when mentioning her.

“Why can’t you be like the German generals”

So he didn’t even say Nazi generals? Why is everyone reporting that he did?

This is the group that owns them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson_Collective

It looks like the playground of a billionaire... It probably would be interesting to know what the billionaire is getting in exchanged for trashing a magazine.

Plenty of German Generals were not loyal to Hitler.

They were planning to overthrow him in 1938, before the Munich Agreement.

If Trump meant “Why can’t they be like old Nazi generals?” in the sense of disgraced and punished for their crimes...

Might be a sensible idea.

Didn’t the sainted John Kennedy say pretty much the same thing - that any president coming into office should hold advice from military leaders as basically worthless?

With the smallest amount of research, The Atlantic is just a campaign wing of the Democrat party.

It is beginning to bother me that I do not believe a word of what is called news today. I am startled at the ease at which I actually firmly believe the opposite of every last thing reported. Even worse, when a few months pass, it is revealed that believing the opposite is startlingly accurate.

But does it bother so called journalists, privately, that they are basically propagandists now? I mean, to decide to be a reporter and then work towards that goal mustve began with honorable and meaningful inspiration…. The quest for truth perhaps? Fighting against the establishment? Who knows…. But look at them now…. Do they ever reflect on what pieces of garbage they are? Wonder where it all went wrong for them? Or just take the liberal pats on the back ignorant fools shower them with for lying along with their paychecks and move on….

Wouldn’t it be awesome if some of our commanders in the mi,itsry, current or retired, came out and lambasted oblama and obiden and kamalalama (actually, they do, BUT the msm ignore them, so they are only preaching to the choir on newsmax and fox sadly)

Would be awesome IF the msm was fair and balanced- IF they were, the democrat party would go the way of the dodo though, as they are so bad, people would be too shocked to vote for them IF the media did its job and reported truth

en and Daniel Goldberg.[3] Goldberg has described his parents as "very left-wing."[2][4] His grandfather was from the shtetl of Leova, Moldova.[5] He grew up in suburban Malverne on Long Island, a predominately Catholic neighborhood which he once described as “a wasteland of Irish pogromists."[6] Retroactively, when describing his first trip to Israel as a teen, Goldberg recalled the sense of empowerment he felt Israel embodied.[4]

Irish pogromists?

Sadly they don’t really want the truth while pursuing their career- because their hearts are evil and their father is the father of lies who has bewitched them to beleive his lies. They certainly are anything but objective reporters, going where the facts leads them- they instead look for angles t9 come up with a preconceived outcome, ie the liberal agenda.

I also call put news stations like fox and Newsmax when they deceptively run with stuff that isn’t entirely true- they fudge the facts to support the agenda at times as well, but nothing like the msms does. The msm does it 24/7, Newsmax and fox only occasionally, thouhg faux is doing it more and more these days with rinos and liberals running things there.

Why Hitler all the time for the demonization storyline? Give someone else a chance. What is Franco? Chopped liver?

The Atlantic represents a wide range of differing opinions and robust debate between them:

—Moderate Left

—Extreme Left

Lol.

Their circular firing squad after the election should be quite the circus show.

"I mean, to decide to be a reporter and then work towards that goal mustve began with honorable and meaningful inspiration…. The quest for truth perhaps? Fighting against the establishment?"

The people who go into "journalism" today are nothing more than narcissistic, activist leftists. Truth is irrelevant to them, the establishment is the tool they see as a means to their own ends (leftism, socialism, whatever). Most of "journalism" today is populated by the most despicable, dishonest, and stupid people you can find.
