September 21-24, 2020 Join us as we examine the magnitude of the events of 2020, who we are as a nation, and what we might become. The Atlantic’s marquee festival will bring brave thinking and bold ideas to life with four days of can’t-miss conversations, evening headliners, and more.

I see only articles refuting the libel.

@EmeraldRobinson:: You have to laugh at Jennifer Griffin at FOX claiming that her anonymous sources back up Jeffrey Goldberg's anonymous sources. Everybody knows that Griffin is a NeverTrumper like Chris Wallace.

Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin reported Friday that two anonymous former “senior” U.S. officials had confirmed “key parts” of the Atlantic‘s story about the president, but could not confirm “the most salacious” part.

The Paul Ryanization of Fox News continued yesterday evening on the Fox Report. Bret Baier and reporter Jennifer Griffin performed a heck of a hatchet job on President Trump last night. – On last night’s Fox Report, Baier and Griffin burnished their CNN/MSNBC cred by parroting the fake reporting of The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, and then having Griffin to cite her own anonymous “sources” to support parts of Goldberg’s story. Which raises the question, when you have anonymous “sources” confirming what anonymous “sources” have to say, what do you really have? Well, you have gossips confirming gossips, for one thing....

Veteran Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie has joined a long list of officials in blasting a recent report in the Atlantic that claimed Trump has repeatedly made disparaging remarks about the US war dead, calling them ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’. The rebuttals come as the article’s author, and the Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, has defended his decision to keep his sources anonymous and says he expects 'more information' to come out in the coming days to corroborate his story about Trump’s remarks. These are not people who are anonymous to me,’ Goldberg told CNN. ‘We all have to use anonymous sources especially...

Editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine Jeffrey Goldberg defended his article claiming President Donald Trump said Americans who died in war were “losers” and “suckers” Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.” Host Brian Stelter said, “Speaking of the climate and the president’s attacks, here is his latest broadside against you and your magazine and the majority owner. He writes that Steve Jobs would not be happy that his wife is wasting money he left her on a failing radical left magazine, the magazine is not failing run by a con man, that’s you apparently, that spews fake news and hate. Call her...

Ten witnesses have now come forward to confirm, on the record, that The Atlantic's recent anonymously-sourced report, claiming the president blasted dead soldiers, is nothing more than an anti-Trump hoax.Four more witnesses have now stepped up to dispute the story, claiming President Donald Trump called fallen troops “losers” and “suckers,” bringing the total to 10.

The Atlantic hit piece on President Donald Trump last week used four anonymous sources to allege that he had disparaged dead World War I soldiers two years ago. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin then claimed to have “confirmed” parts of the story — though not its main allegation — based on two anonymous sources. The entire story failed to meet basic journalistic standards. But it is a sign of things to come — particularly if Democrats win in November, which is the Atlantic‘s goal. Two, or even four, anonymous sources can be used to claim absolutely anything. The Atlantic described...

As the hit piece by far left “magazine”, The Atlantic, regarding comments Trump never actually said about the military, continues to make the rounds, it’s since been revealed that Laurene Powell Jobs, heir to Steve Jobs’s fortune, is a majority owner in The Atlantic and also a huge donor to democrat candidates, including Biden.But that only explains part of the possible reason for the fake news article.The widowed Jobs also retains huge amounts of stock in Apple and Disney, both of which are dependent on national policies that appease China. Trump’s tough-on-China policies are cutting into the elitist billionaries’...

"The story in The Atlantic has been categorically debunked by eye witnesses and contemporaneous documents," Trump said. "Behind me you will see an email from one of the President's miliary aids that clearly reads, 'We are a bad weather call for today's lift.' The Atlantic reporting is based on four, cowardly anonymous sources who probably do not even exist. Meanwhile within hours 10 sources, 10, went on the record debunking these lies, eight with first hand knowledge stating on the record one common truth, that this story is false. It never happened," McEnany said, adding testimony from two additional military...

Peter Alexander, NBC’s White House Correspondent, invited President Donald Trump on Friday to apologize for allegedly disparaging fallen military personnel. The unsubstantiated allegations — which included no evidence — were published by the Atlantic on Thursday. The Atlantic alleged that Trump derided Americans who died in wars as “losers,” citing unidentified “people with firsthand knowledge” of a discussion with the president in 2018. Alexander asked for Trump’s apology while wearing a mask. His Twitter profile photo also shows him wearing a surgical mask. He reiterated Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg’s allegations.

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,...

Demoratic nominee Joe Biden again slammed President Donald Trump for The Atlantic's reporting that he referred to American war dead as 'suckers' and 'losers' and disparaged those who served. 'When it comes to our veterans, it's downright un-American,' Biden said of Trump's reported comments Monday from Pennsylvania, as he held a virtual event in Harrisburg with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Biden said that Trump wasn't 'made of the same stuff' as Americans who have served their country. He'll never understand us. He'll never understand our cops, our firefighters,' Biden said, bringing up law enforcement as Trump and Republicans have tried...

On Sunday, Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg admitted the White House’s account that President Trump’s trip to a cemetery of fallen World War I soldiers in France in 2018 was modified due to bad weather is probably accurate. “I’m sure all of those things are true,” Goldberg told CNN in an interview on Friday when asked to respond to evidence a story he published saying otherwise is false. In the story published in The Atlantic on Thursday, Goldberg asserted that multiple senior White House staffers heard President Trump express a desire to cancel his visit to the cemetery because “It’s filled with losers.” “When President Donald...

This story broke a little while ago: Excerpt from the piece at Breitbart: VDO.AI Former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Zach Fuentes denied to Breitbart News The Atlantic’s account of President Donald Trump’s comments about troops in Europe. Fuentes unequivocally denied The Atlantic’s report last week, a huge blow to the establishment media narrative. Fuentes personally briefed President Trump on the weather situation that led to the trip being canceled. He is also a close personal confidante of former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. “You can put me on record denying that I spoke with The Atlantic,”...

Jeanine Pirro Destroys the Lie Peddled by the Atlantic against our President, 9/5/20. Judge Jeanine Pirro rips a new one into “The Atlantic” (a tabloid class magazine posing as journalism) and it’s editor Jeffrey Goldberg for their obviously bogus FAKE NEWS piece aimed at President Donald Trump. She follows her scathing show opening with an interview with National Press Secretary for the President, Hogan Gidley, who sets the record straight in no uncertain terms. WATCH JEANINE'S TAKEDOWN......

So, The Atlantic’s “Trump hates the military” hoax died on the vine after about a 24-hour run. It died for the simple reason that Trump’s public actions consistently in favor of the interests of the U.S. military and its personnel and retirees rendered the anonymously-sourced hit piece transparently unbelievable to anyone with functioning synapses in their cranial cavity, which of course excludes China Joe Biden. The obvious hope of the Biden/Harris campaign and its corrupt media toadies was that this particular hoax would lead thousands of Trump supporters to finally abandon him out of disgust. Yeah, that’s not going to...

VIDEO Why would a Congressman in a swing district with a strong challenger stick his neck out to help verify a very dubious hit piece upon President Trump in the Atlantic magazine? Such is the mystery of Pennsylvania Congressman Conor Lamb. You can get the details of about his possible role in the current controversy by doing a web search but this video might explain why he might have felt pressure to participate in that scheme. As you can see, Lamb basically threw Joe Biden under the bus in a big way on the very day Biden was accepting...
