Atlantic Journo Mocks Crime Crackdown Months After Being Theft Victim
One of the hyperbolic Resist movement’s favorite reporters going back to her days with The Washington Post, Ashley Parker — who joined Laurene Powell Jobs’s The Atlantic in December — wrote a piece Friday huffing and puffing about the presence of the National Guard in Washington D.C. as part of President Trump’s efforts to address crime in the nation’s capital. Parker leveled…

NewsBusters Podcast: Did CBS Think We’d Miss Their New Hatchet Job?
NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I were stunned by Sunday’s Face the Nation in which the show made a baffling decision to deceptively remove a key portion of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s answer about the alleged criminal record of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As our Bill D’Agostino wrote, this was part of a pattern of behavior from CBS News,…

PBS Sees 'Racially Tinged Hypocrisy' in Trump's D.C. Anti-Crime Blitz
President Trump’s use of emergency powers to federalize the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard to America’s disgracefully crime-ridden capital city was greeted with racially charged animus by the (for the moment) taxpayer-funded pundits on PBS’s Washington Week in Review on Friday evening. Show moderator and Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg brought up what he “a…

Will the GOP Make Liberals Generous Again?
Before politics overwhelmed the word, the primary meaning of "liberal" was "generous." President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress have given political liberals a chance to take that meaning back — by opening their wallets to show just how much they value NPR, PBS and other programs defunded by the GOP. There’s no shortage of cash on the left: Laurene Powell Jobs, the mega-rich backer…

LOL: Frum Claims ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ Just Before Iran Strike!
Talk about getting Jim Cramered. The Atlantic’s pompous loudmouth of a staff writer David Frum committed an unforced error by publicly showcasing how he literally knows nothing about the Trump Doctrine on military strategy or foreign policy.

Kooky Frum: Trump's Riot Response a Dress Rehearsal for 2026 Takeover
In "For Trump, This Is a Dress Rehearsal," David Frum speculates that former President Donald Trump called out the National Guard during immigration riots to prepare for a military takeover of the 2026 midterms.

PBS Host: Critics of Pro-Biden Media Don't Grasp 'How Reporting Works'
On Friday's Washington Week with The Atlantic, host Jeffrey Goldberg hosted his pal Jake Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson on their book Original Sin. The most shameless denial came when Goldberg suggested the media didn't cover up Biden's decline, while he completely omitted his show's infamous episode when he said President Biden was "mentally, quite acute." Mark…

NewsBusters Podcast: Trump Takes On Hostile Media, Unlike Hidin' Biden
On Sunday, President Trump tangled with NBC's Kristen Welker, after he had verbal combat with ABC's Terry Moran and Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. Four years ago, President Biden granted no interviews to the liberal media. They didn't care. Once again, Trump is punished for granting broad access to hostile journalists.

Atlantic Magazine Admits Incredible Success of Trump Border Policies
An Atlantic magazine article by Justin Gest surprisingly praises Donald Trump's border policies, noting a reverse in migrant flow through Central America as crossings into the U.S. from the south dwindle. Under Trump, strict measures effectively halted both legal and illegal immigration, shifting migration patterns significantly, with migrants now moving south instead. This marked…

PBS's David Brooks Condemns GOP: 'Adultery, Abuse, Cruelty, Grift'
In The Atlantic magazine, David Brooks penned a harsh 4,500-word epithet of an essay, “Everything We Once Believed In.” The online headline: “I Should Have Seen This Coming -- When I joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won.”

Saahil Desai, Senior Associate Editor at Atlantic magazine, experienced firsthand the harsh reactions of leftist intolerance when he drove a Tesla Cybertruck around Washington D.C. His story, "My Day Inside America’s Most Hated Car," reveals extreme hostility from liberal onlookers, who hurled insults and obscenities his way. Despite the negativity, Desai praises the Cybertruck’s impressive…

David Frum Labels Mexico's Good Relations with USA as 'Appeasement'
During most times and among most people, good relations between Mexico and the United States would be looked upon as a good thing. But if you feverishly hate Trump, you root against American interests, like David Frum of The Atlantic magazine. He snarled on Friday that the good relations currently being enjoyed by the two neighbor nations is in reality "appeasement" by Mexico.

On Security Breaches and the Infamous Signal Chat
This week, all hell broke loose in the media when Jeffrey Goldberg, left-leaning editor of The Atlantic, revealed that he had been accidentally included in a group chat with the top members of the Trump national security team. According to a Signal thread revealed by Goldberg, he was invited in by national security adviser Michael Waltz; other participants included Vice President JD Vance,…

Atlantic Writer: Recent DNC Meeting Displayed 'Why They Lost' in 2024
Jonathan Chait, now of The Atlantic, has made an important discovery: The recent DNC forum, in which they chose their new leadership team, was so extreme it sounded like fuel for GOP attack ads. His article was titled "The Democrats Show Why They Lost."
