shine a light on these globalists:

20 Jul 2015: Medium: Aspen Ideas: There’s No Blueprint
Advice from Women Who Lead
by Pamela Reeves
I used to work with Secretary Clinton, running the Secretary’s International Fund for Women and Girls in the State Department. Now, I advise the executive office of Melinda Gates on global women’s issues. So the fact that women can lead, and do so effectively, is not a surprise to me...

Jeffrey Goldberg intervewed for Nieman Lab/Harvard by Adrienne LaFrance, who joined The Atlantic as a tech editor in 2014, now executive editor. got some flak online for some of his remarks:

6 Jun 2019: Nieman Lab, Harvard: Promoting based on potential: How The Atlantic is putting a lot more women in charge
Goldberg: I am lucky in that I have my own personal gender advisor. My wife [Pamela Reeves] advises Melinda Gates on gender issues. She introduced me to the concept — which you don’t have to be married to a gender specialist to understand — that women are judged on experience and men are judged on potential.
When I really thought about that early on as editor, it helped me to look at the world in a different way...

Goldberg: We continue to have a problem with the print magazine cover stories — with the gender and race issues when it comes to cover story writing. [Of the 15 print issues The Atlantic has published since January 2018, 11 had cover stories written by men. —Ed.]
It’s really, really hard to write a 10,000-word cover story. There are not a lot of journalists in America who can do it. The journalists in America who do it are almost exclusively white males...

What about those anonymous sources that claim Goldberg is a pedophile?

Goldberg is a delusional conspiracy theorist:

21 Jul 2016: Atlantic: It’s Official: Hillary Clinton Is Running Against Vladimir Putin
Fulfilling what might be the Russian autocrat’s dearest wish, Trump has openly questioned whether the U.S. should keep its commitments to NATO.
by Jeffrey Goldberg
The Republican nominee for president, Donald J. Trump, has chosen this week to unmask himself as a de facto agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a KGB-trained dictator who seeks to rebuild the Soviet empire by undermining the free nations of Europe, marginalizing NATO, and ending America’s reign as the world’s sole superpower...

Unlike Trump, leaders of such countries as Estonia believe that the United States still represents the best hope for freedom. In his interview with Haberman and Sanger (NYT), Trump argued, in essence, that there is nothing exceptional about the U.S., and that therefore its leaders have no right to criticize the behavior of other countries...
As someone who has covered President Obama’s foreign policy fairly extensively, I feel confident in stating that he has never expressed such a negative view of the U.S. We are truly in uncharted waters...

Donald Trump, should he be elected president, would bring an end to the postwar international order, and liberate dictators, first and foremost his ally Vladimir Putin, to advance their own interests. The moral arc of the universe is long, and, if Trump is elected, it will bend in the direction of despotism and darkness.

Goldberg is a sore loser and a sucker:

5 Oct 2016: CNN: In historic move, The Atlantic endorses Hillary Clinton
by Dylan Byers
Driven by its staunch opposition to Donald Trump, The Atlantic has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President of the United States, marking just the third time in the magazine’s 160-year history that it has made a presidential endorsement.

Labeling the Republican presidential nominee “a demagogue, a xenophobe, a sexist, a know-nothing, and a liar,” The Atlantic’s editors encouraged their readers to “act in defense of American democracy and elect his opponent.”...

“The Atlantic does not have a tradition of weighing in on presidential contests except when there is perceived to be a danger to the Republic,” Jeffrey Goldberg, the Atlantic’s national correspondent and the man who wrote the first draft of the endorsement, told CNNMoney.

“The founding manifesto of The Atlantic was that it would be ‘the organ of no party or clique,’” Goldberg continued. “We adhere to that. Only when a candidate is so obviously dangerous, or so obviously unqualified for the job, does The Atlantic decide to weigh in.”

The Atlantic’s endorsement comes less than a week after USA Today, the most widely circulated newspaper in the nation, published an editorial encouraging its readers not to vote for Trump because, it said, he lacks “the temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that America needs from its presidents.” ...

Unlike USA Today, The Atlantic’s endorsement does encourage readers to vote for Clinton. It acknowledges, though, that it is “mainly concerned with the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump, who might be the most ostentatiously unqualified major-party candidate in the 227-year history of the American presidency.”
Goldberg said no single issue influenced The Atlantic’s decision, but rather that it was the result of Trump’s overall record, character and temperament.
“The evidence accumulated over time,” he said. “This is not a normal election and Trump is not a normal candidate.”

Dan who? Is this same loser that lost his decades long career at CBS News for faking the news about Bush's National Guard service? What rock did he crawl out from under?

He could have picked a better story to re-tweet on than a completely false, fake news story from anonymous sources in the far-Left Atlantic rag that was then corroborated by more anonymous sources from some other outlets?

The only actual, named witnesses, including anti-Trumper John Bolton, who knew first hand what happened, claimed the Atlantic story is completely false.

Dan Rather is pathetic. All he did here is embarrass himself further.

Goldberg: wouldn’t have endorsed anyone, if Hillary was running against Romney, George W. Bush or McCain. CBS hosts include Charlie Rose:

VIDEO: 4m40s: 28 Oct 2016: CBS: Why The Atlantic endorsed Hillary Clinton
The Atlantic magazine is endorsing a presidential candidate for only the third time in nearly 160 years: Hillary Clinton. That came after longtime political and foreign affairs writer Jeffrey Goldberg became the magazine’s editor-in-chief earlier this month. Goldberg joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss their decision and the challenges the next president will face in the fight against ISIS.

The Atlantic alleged that Trump had called fallen American soldiers in the First World War “suckers” and “losers.” .................. Considering the combatants, it wasn’t our war, and would not have been if we remained neutral. It was one royal house vs. another. Hitler could have been killed in that war, and the world would have turned out differently. Yeah they sank the Lusitania and sent the Zimmerman telegram, but if we stayed out of it, neither would have occurred. We were in for the $$$$$$. Sending ammo on a cruise ship after being warned isn’t being neutral. Those who served under the Royals would have petered out and would have been forced to make peace, because their subjects would demand it, unless they wanted to face a French type revolution. IMO, it wasn’t our business to get involved. The media worked up the USA into a war frenzy. IMO. (A couple of my great uncles were in that war on different sides. It was a silent subject in our house. Colonial Empire greed screwed it up for all.

Holy Smokes I'd have thought this idiot was dead by now.

Rather apparently hasn't learned a thing from the phony Afghanistan video he filmed and that stupid Bush draft deferment nonsense from years ago.

Ah yes, his "but I know it's true!" opened the floodgates to an era of media repoeting "their truth."
