The Atlantic's Artemis Appreciation Ruined by 'Mass Destruction' Rage Against Trump
Newsbusters ^ | April 9, 2026 | P.J. Gladnick

If only Atlantic magazine had published just the first four paragraphs of its tribute to the Artemis II mission it would have been an inspirational piece. Unfortunately the author of the story on Tuesday, "An Incredibly Weird Time to Be Alive," was Charlie Warzel who has a history of leftist bias including his extreme anger at Twitter (now called X) for embracing free speech rather than maintaining its previous Orwellian censorship after Elon Musk bought it.

The first four paragraphs, containing praise for the Artemis II mission sound normal although the subtitle does give a hint as to where Warzel's derangement is headed: "The world witnessed the best and worst of humanity in a single week."

We are seeing a lot more of this. A reporter could be writing on a topic unrelated to politics but somehow the reporter's TDS is so overwhelming that it ends up intruding into the story as was the case here.

We see that on threads here on FR. Doesn't matter what the subject is, some retard will piss and moan that it's somehow all Trump's fault.

Slightly Off Topic (pardon me).
I think Elon Musk owned ‘X’ will always be for the most part, referred to as Twitter, not out of any petty show of resistance against Elon and his works, but because a website this powerful, this ubiquitous, deserves it’s own name, and using the one letter of ‘X’ is just not enough!

We give names to tornadoes, hurricanes and solar eclipses, why not for one of the top five most infuential sites in the land, others including Tik Tok, Facebook and Instagram?

There may be some betting website in England taking bids on how soon the little Bluebird of Twitter will return, bringing his storied name with him.

I say it will be a few years after this Trump presidency.
An American Era, for better or worse, will have passed.
May as well officially turn the page with a Brand Revision.
My bet? By the end of year 2031.

The leftist rag, 'The Atlantic', publishing a story on the Artemis mission?

The Atlantic’s circulation is down by something like 90% over the last 20 years.

“… X’ will always be for the most part, referred to as Twitter…”

I see it more as “Xerox” or “Kleenex”, a brand name used as a generic term.

He would be a starving stick man crapping in a hole in the ground with a lion stalking him if it wasn’t for white people.

There's something suspicious about the leftist 'Atlantic' publishing stories about the Artemis moon mission.

Typical leftist article today.....

“Today we will be talking about how to bake a cake.
There will be flour, eggs, chocolate, sugar and some orange peel, like that orange Hitler and you know if you’re baking a cake and don’t have the proper LGBTQ eggs you’re supporting white supremacy.”

Should be 100, but the world is full of 10% insane people.

Hating Trump is like being in love.

Everything reminds you of that special someone.

Who reads the Atlantic magazine anymore? It’s leftist drivel for them to consume in their echo chamber.
Let them spin their wheels and waste their time with it - it keeps their doctors busy.
