The Atlantic’s Goldberg: ‘We Are Not Going to Be Intimidated by the President’
Breitbart ^ | 6 Sep 2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/06/2020 12:51:58 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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 and write her. That seems ominous to me. Do you interpret that as a threat?”

Goldberg said, “I spent a lot of my career covering dictatorships in the Middle East, and so I’m familiar with this kind of discourse. It is a threat. It is meant to intimidate. I would only say we are neither failing or radical left. I would also say, I’m not speaking for the ownership or the management of the company. I would say that we have excellent owners who value editorial independence and integrity. I would just say that we are not going to be intimidated by the president of the United States. We’re going to do our jobs. I think that is true for a large number of outlets. His intense frustration — which comes out in these outbursts — comes from the fact that unlike dictators in other countries, he cannot shut down media outlets that he doesn’t like. And so, it’s our duty to continue to pursue the truth no matter what he says about us.”

When facts aren’t on your side you must resort to ad hominem attacks, right Mr. Goldstein?

‘We Are Not Going to Be Intimidated by the President’

In other words . . . we are not going to stop lying and spread disinformation.

Considering the backlash and increase in support for the president . . . . I too hope you continue. Tooooooo much fun laughing at these little children with no minds.

Billionaire stock holders, such as Laurene Powell Jobs, need a President Harris, err, President Biden, in order to continue their windfall from China.

They can’t get that with a president that stands for America.

The irony is not lost that the party that claims to stand up for the working class, stand against multi-national corporations, and stand against the oppression of workers and exploitation of labor is essentially acting as a surrogate for multi-national corporations that exploit working class laborers.

Scarier yet, they also own the corporate media that will tear down anyone who stands in their way.

It's okay to say it Jeff. Everybody already knows.

How much did you get paid by the Democrats and Red Chinese to write that scurrilous fake article?

Biden Mega donor Owns The Atlantic, Reportedly Communicates Often With Journalist Behind Anonymously-Sourced Trump Bombshell

Daily Caller ^ | 9/4/2020 | Andrew Kerr
Posted on 9/4/2020, 5:41:44 PM by AndyJackson

Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs*, the majority owner of The Atlantic, has donated over $1.2 million to former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democratic candidates and groups since 2019, Federal Election Commission records show. Powell Jobs* owns a 70% stake in The Atlantic, and she reportedly communicates often with its editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.

Goldberg published an anonymously-sourced story Thursday alleging that President Donald Trump had denigrated fallen American soldiers.

*related to the late Steve Jobs? Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs*

*Widow and heir* Thanks to AndyJackson for this reality!

Goldberg is a HACK and a known LIAR>

HE lied about Iraq and WMD. How anyone can put him forward as a credible journalist is beyond me. He is a lying liar!

The Atlantic's ‘Jeffrey Goldberg’ has always been in the Demorats pockets....his past News associations and jobs are all those within the Demorat circle.

This is not the first time one of his stories has been challenged where he's built a story around what he claims a speaker or politician says...... and he will always stand by what he writes even when he's clearly wrong.

Further Goldberg is in the Global Cabal..up close and personal with those who seek International Power. So he will of course write anything which will discredit Pres. Trump who he highly opposes. Not to forget he was close with Obama and Hillary Clinton in obtaining support for both....
