Washington Week

Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, the host of Washington Week with The Atlantic, tax-funded PBS’s weekly political roundtable show, recently made news himself when he revealed he had been privy to a national security text thread from the Trump White House discussing war plans. Goldberg took full advantage of the Trump team’s misstep, wielding the March 28 episode as…

At the Capitol grilling of the PBS and NPR CEOs on March 26, Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) asked PBS boss Paula Kerger: “Would you believe that PBS is fair and objective and nonpartisan?” She said “yes.” Jeffrey Goldberg demonstrates what a lie that was by prancing all over PBS against Trump promoting the Signalgate scandal.

Before journalist Jeffrey Goldberg’s revelation that he’d been privy to a national security text thread discussing war plans by the Trump White House, the Atlantic’s editor in chief hosted another busy episode of public television’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, where Washington Post columnist David Ignatius and Atlantic writer Michael Scherer helped…

Bias by omission on the PBS weekly news roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, as the panel of journalists played dumb about why Trump would cancel federal grant money from Columbia University, describing it as a typical Trumpian power grab. Never mind months of anti-Semitic campouts last year and the harassment of Jewish students and the chanting of homicidal slogans in the…

On the PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic on February 7, host Jeffrey Goldberg began: “Elon Musk, the unelected, unconfirmed, unofficial, but extremely powerful prime minister of the United States, is carrying out his plan to purge thousands of employees from the federal government.”

Over the weekend, NPR White House reporter Asma Khalid appeared on PBS, NPR, and ABC hammering away at Elon Musk as "the world's richest man" taking a hatchet to the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is automatically associated with the poor, so Musk will "increase starvation rates." He's a killer.

Friday’s edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic played defense for the Democratic Party in California over the raging wildfires that have destroyed tens of thousands of acres and thousands of houses, with one panelist in particular taking the time to chiding Trump and call Republicans liars for daring to point out the obvious failures of human response. 

Both the PBS News Hour and PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable Washington Week in Review used the new 199^th Congress and Rep. Mike Johnson narrowly winning the vote to become Speaker of the House to break out their biased labeling tricks. Washington Week moderator and Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg (along with contributors Leigh Ann Caldwell and David Ignatius of…

Washington Week with The Atlantic’s year-in-review episode Friday contained a fleeting reference to a bombshell Wall Street Journal story about how the White House and Democrats actively hid President Joe Biden’s descent into decrepitude, including several public stumbles, shaking hands with the air, and taking the “short stairs” up Air Force One.

The journalists around this week’s Washington Week with The Atlantic roundtable had great fun mocking president-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks. Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine and the regular moderator of the panel, set the…

PBS’s weekly political roundtable Washington Week with the Atlantic gathered for the second time since Donald Trump’s reelection reeling from his proposed cabinet picks. New York Times Washington Bureau Chief Elisabeth Bumiller used aggressively antagonistic language to describe the picks. It's a "rogues' gallery," including Tulsi Gabbard, a "girlfriend" of the Russians.

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…

On Friday evening’s Washington Week with The Atlantic on tax-funded PBS, show host and Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg set a “foreboding” scene, just a few days before Election Day. He threw in all the anti-Trump buzzwords,…
