Atlantic

Nothing underlines the partisan nature of PBS right now than The Atlantic magazine being allowed to take over the long-running Washington Week program in August of 2023. This was not a hostile takeover, but a deeper branding of what PBS is – taxpayer-funded mangle-MAGA TV.

On the post-election edition of PBS’s Friday political roundtable, Washington Week with The Atlantic, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker delivered the bitter highlights, covering the same ground as she did in her New Yorker article, “Donald Trump’s Revenge -- The former President will return to the White House older, less inhibited, and far more dangerous than ever…

In the latest turn in the circle of symbiosis, Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS, invited PBS’s Washington Week host and Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss his anonymously sourced hit piece, which dropped two weeks before the presidential election, alleging Donald Trump envied…

The Atlantic was once a respectable publication founded in 1857 and in the following decades featuring some of the most valued writers in America with names like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Harriet Beecher Stowe and others. Now it's trashing Trump for "dehumanizing language" -- as if the Left hasn't done that to Republicans for decades.

After days of declaring that Donald Trump admires Adolf Hitler and dismissing evidence that his scoop that Trump cursed in a racist manner at the cost of a military funeral was false, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, took his place in the anchor’s chair of PBS’s Washington Week with The Atlantic and declared it is only “allegedly extreme” for Kamala Harris to…

On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt denies that Kamala Harris' closing message is "hate Trump." Right. Kamala's just calling him a fascist and comparing him to Hitler!

According to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, former President Donald Trump was dismayed at the cost of the funeral of Army Private Vanessa Guillen, a child of Mexican immigrants who was brutally murdered at Fort Hood in 2020. As Goldberg tells it, Trump raged, “It doesn’t…

On CNN This Morning, liberal author Jonathan Alter gets emotional as he inveighs against Trump, and the risk of electing this "dangerous" man. Host Kasie Hunt teed up Alter, citing statements in an Atlantic article by former Trump aides about his supposed danger. Alter compared Kamala Harris to...Abe Lincoln in 1864.

On CNN This Morning, David Frum compares Donald Trump to mass murderer Charles Manson: "Asking Donald Trump to talk about policy, it's like teaching Charles Manson to foxtrot. He can manage a step or two, but then he's going to put a pencil in your eye, because he's Charles Manson. And Donald Trump is Donald Trump."

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski and Vin Gupta, an MSNBC doctor, double-team Democrat Zeke Emanuel, also a doctor, who has written that although there are sharp octogenarians, Biden isn't one of them, and should be replaced on the ticket.

The Atlantic has an absurd message for struggling Americans: the economy isn’t just not bad, it’s the “Taylor Swift” and “Lebron James” of economies. 

Leftist outlets like The Atlantic seem to have a bad habit of yanking the most insane political ideas out of the ether to make them sound less nutty than they are. Its recent treatment of “degrowth communism” to fight climate change is no exception.

Last August, PBS announced it was entering a partnership with the leftist magazine The Atlantic to rebrand its Friday night journalist roundtable show Washington Week. We've studied six months of this merger, and it's no surprise that it's dramatically anti-Trump and anti-Republican. Our PBS analyst Clay Waters shares his findings. 

Josh Barro, writing for The Atlantic, is advocating for Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire in order to preserve liberal interests on the U.S Supreme Court. He argues that if she retires in 2022, President Biden can nominate a reliably liberal replacement who will be easily confirmed due to the current Democratic control of the Senate. Barro views Sotomayor's potential retirement as a…
