This story seems like something they cooked up last year, all excited to release and hammer on before the election, attacking Trump at his base.

I just do not see how anyone who is patriotic, traditional, and pro military would ever think that Trump is anything but patriotic, traditional, and pro military, nor could they ever be persuaded that Biden is.

It’s a real cognitive dissonance type of news story. They are waisting their time hammering on it, I bet most people are just tuning out.

With all the important news events happening, for them to just keep pushing it has to make even casual observers notice the media’s partisan propaganda efforts.

I think overall it makes the Dems look bad. It’s like, “Is that all you’ve got?”

Political operatives posing as journalists. Same script. America knows all about them.

I hope Britt Hume is woke. He needs to get off the fence!

"I spent a lot of my career covering dictatorships in the Middle East, and so I’m familiar with this kind of discourse."

And who is bringing these decades/centuries old enemies together? First UAI, now Bahrain and Oman are talking. Kosovo and Serbia just signed an agreement where Kosovo recognizes Israel and Serbia is moving its embassy to Jerusalem. If Saudia Arabi got on board, it would all be over except for the crying of the Mullahs.

I have watched the mess in the ME and the Balkans for decades. So who has made them re-think their stupid warring positions? You get 3 guesses, but you'll only need 1.

Didn't an Atlantic writer totally make up a story about a cop shooting an unarmed Black teenager?
This is a rag with a reputation for being creative with the truth.

Fake "news" media steadfastly refuse to police themselves. So what next?

Which makes your magazine the semi-official Al-Ahram of the Democratic Party. Take whatever they write with a grain of salt.

They have gone from being nearly broke to flying the hammer and sickle at full mast. Wonder how that happened.

What a drama queen.

Dear Mr. Goldberg,

As my late & much beloved wife, Vickie Kay who was a “on air personality” for WFAA TV used to say, “At least 90+% of the time when a publication or broadcaster says that they have ‘anonymous sources’ or that ‘critics say’ intelligent people would do well to believe that what was claimed was an outright, premeditated, lie.”

UNTIL/UNLESS you reveal the name, position, address & complete contact information for your SPECIOUS CLAIMS, intelligent people will DISMISS your anti-Donald Trump articles & your comments thereafter as nothing more than SELF-SERVING LIES.

As a retired serviceman, I know at least 10X as many active servicemembers & military veterans as you do & the opinion of all of my GI friends is that you are a LIAR, a FOOL & UNFIT by reason of OBVIOUS DISHONESTY to BE a journalist/editor.
I suggest that you APOLOGIZE for you ODIOUS conduct & RESIGN
from your position, forthwith.

Yours, TMN78247
USA, Retired

Don't forget this totally fake, made up story from The Atlantic about some 12 year old black boy that was shot by the police just for playing basketball some years back on some court. Reality? It never happened.:

"‘I’m… At A Loss For Words’: The Unraveling Narrative Behind The Atlantic’s Defund-The-Police ‘Shooting’ Tale.

A powerful story published by The Atlantic has a serious problem: proof it ever happened.
Christopher BedfordBy Christopher Bedford
JULY 16, 2020
When social justice activist and lawyer Derecka Purnell was just 12 years old, she and her sister watched a police officer shoot a young boy in a city recreation center because he had ignored the basketball sign-in sheet. This jarring, emotional, and deeply unsettling story was published July 6 at The Atlantic, in the section reserved for ideas, under the bold, attention-grabbing headline, “How I Became a Police Abolitionist.”

Purnell’s deeply personal story of shattered innocence and shattered bones at the end of a policeman’s gun was shared widely among top journalists and activists. “I started her article thinking abolition was impossible and ending thinking it must happen,” the president of a social justice think tank at Harvard wrote on Twitter, quoting his mother. “This is a beautifully written piece,” the Atlantic’s constitutional law editor agreed. “Derecka is the future,” an activist journalism executive declared.

There’s a major problem with Purnell’s story, however. Based on a Federalist investigation of newspaper archives and the police department records, and questions to The Atlantic, the police union, and the office of the mayor, it does not appear to have ever happened."
