"The Atlantic" sullies itself with more made up nonsense

Click above for the video
I've been a long time subscriber to The Atlantic magazine. Always readable and refreshingly liberal. 

Until it was bought by Steve Jobs' widow and it became an unrecognisable propaganda samizdat. 

But still I subscribe. 

The latest has a story by Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg about how Trump allegedly stiffed the family of a Mexican-American soldier killed by a fellow soldier. The story is in the above video by Greg Foreman

The family has denied the story. They say Trump treated them with sympathy and respect. 

The person who was in the Oval office when the remarks were allegedly made, Mark Meadows, says Trump never said what is alleged in the article. 

Despite which the people in the video above, all with severe TDS, being told these denials, carry on as if nothing was said, and the story still true. They're like "why don't people believe us?". Answer: because you're always doing crap like this. 

As Glenn Greenberg reminds us, Jeffrey Goldberg was the guy who gave us the nonsense "Saddam Hussein is allied with Al-Qaeda", which sounded nonsense even then, and proved so subsequently, but which helped to justify a war that killed hundreds of thousands ("mass death").

And it was Goldberg who gave us the nonsense story of Trump saying that veterans were "losers". That was debunked by none other than John Bolton, who was there when it was allegedly said, but who denied that Trump ever said it; this from Bolton, a major Trump-hater. 

So, this is the "October surprise". A BS story, retailed as BS, and printed is a BS propaganda outlet.
