On Sunday, appearing on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” with host Brian Stelter, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, which has been slammed for running a hit piece on President Trump based on anonymous sources, blamed Trump, claiming, “We all have to use anonymous sources, especially in a climate in which the President of the United States tries to actively intimidate journalism organizations and people who provide information to journalism organizations.”
Stelter asked about the piece, which claimed Trump had made disparaging remarks about the U.S. military but whose accuracy was then fiercely disputed by numerous figures within the Trump administration, “Why grant anonymity in the first place?” He continued obsequiously, “Help viewers at home understand how this works. Obviously these sources are not anonymous to you; you know their names; you know why they are credible, and you’re attaching your own credibility to them by granting them anonymity.”
Anonymous sources are no sources! Blow it out your a$$ Goldberg!!
Ant claim by Trump is required to be proven.
Any claim agaiu8nst Trump is not.
Yet the media doesn’t think their audience is intelligent enough to notice.
(Or maybe they make more money if their advertisers think their audience is that stupid.)
“And I have anonymous sources who tell me this Goldberg pervert has been known to stand in front of his window whilst having sex with his hand while women and children walked by.”
+1000!
The Atlantic has decided to exchanged credibility for excitability. That’s fine. Normal people know that.
Dear Mr. Goldberg,
IF you are UNABLE and/or UNWILLING to OPENLY provide the NAMES & CONTACT info for your sources, EXPECT to be considered to be a KNOWING LIAR, as the rest of the RADICAL LEFTISTS are..
Laughing AT you, BIGOT.

whilst I believe Trump supporters should just ignore this hoax, might as well post the following:

Wait a second. When did The Atlantic have credibility?
Do you have a source???
In 2016-17, a person on WABC who used to work with Griffin, said she hates Trump.
Jennifer Griffin and Chris Stirewalt were named that day as people that can’t contain their antipathy for Trump.
‘
Good point. It is not as if credibilty was their objective in the first place.
Anonymous sources have confirmed that Jeffrey Goldberg eats live babies livers and kidneys. We have at least 10 different sources who can vouch for that. (Ok, one is my cat...but still)
“IF you are UNABLE and/or UNWILLING to OPENLY provide the NAMES & CONTACT info for your sources, EXPECT to be considered to be a KNOWING LIAR, as the rest of the RADICAL LEFTISTS are..”
I sure hope that’s not our standard, but I fear it is. It’s basically saying that if a handful of Trump-hating people who happened to be with Trump at one time or another make a claim, we MUST believe them...regardless of whether they have ANY EVIDENCE of what is claimed.
That should NOT be enough to merit credibility, no more than Balsy getting with a few of her high school friends (all of whom being Trump haters) and claiming that Kavenaugh is a drunk rapist, even though they know he’s not. Perhaps they made that claim simply to keep him off the Supreme Court? If they’re not required to show PROOF, then they can stop anyone, Mother Teresa included.
Naked amateur political attack by Biden’s team they should be embarrassed by this and running away from this..anonymous sources..insane and laughable
Obviously these sources are not anonymous to you; you know their names; you know why they are credible, and you’re attaching your own credibility to them by granting them anonymity.”

That someone would say such a ludicrous statement shows they have zero credibility.
Pres. Trump's denials of this phony story would;ve been worse if they released it three days before the election. While no smear from the Democrats would've been best, it is better this smear happened now than later.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the unbelievable idiot.
Ironically, after the publication of the well-known May 2016 article in The New York Times Magazine in which former Obama administration Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes essentially admitted he had manipulated the media regarding the Iran nuclear deal, Goldberg attacked David Samuels, the freelancer who had written the article, for writing, “For those in need of more traditional-seeming forms of validation, handpicked Beltway insiders like Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic and Laura Rozen of Al-Monitor helped retail the administration’s narrative.”

Goldberg is a Dem stooge.
WHILE a good sized fraction of people ARE willing to lie, most ARE (THANKFULLY) UNABLE to lie well enough to fool a majority of intelligent people.
FWIW, I was a detective for > 3 decades & even I cannot prove that something did NOT happen BUT give me 30 minutes with them & I will catch them in at least ONE KNOWING LIE, that will destroy their credibility. - Give me an hour with the “witness” & I can get MOST LIARS to admit their LIES
OTOH, as the DIMocRATS discovered in the Kavanaugh MESS, FALSE ALLEGATIONS are quickly SEEN THROUGH & DISCOUNTED as the LIES that they are, by persons of normal IQ.
(Despite being “scripted” & rehearsed, Dr. Blasey Ford is FOREVER “branded” as a LIAR & her reputation is RUINED.)
