What adds to this is that the Atlantic is a centrist publication. Many on the left can’t stand it either. :lol:
Lol the Atlantic is a leftist rag. Them giving kudos to Trump this one time is because:
-Trump’s right
-They can say, “See, we’re not always anti-Trump. See this article on the Iran bombing.”
They are just anti-Trump 99% of the time. This is the 1%..
To trump and MAQA yahoos any publication that won't promote trump's FAKE NEWS, lies, propaganda and HOAXES is a leftist rag staffed by unhinged, radical Marxists. His fragile, snowflake ego can't handle criticism no matter how constructive.

Any one just reread what Uni St Behar posted and let me know who is unhinged. Xe can't even speak in normal terms.

I also recognized the at least temporary cessation of hostilities. That in no way lets Trump off the hook. Trains running on time and such….

Of course you think the Atlantic is leftist. That’s a gross misunderstanding of the American political landscape.

It’s like thinking Trump is a principled conservative.

New U.S. assessment finds American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites
One of the three nuclear enrichment sites in Iran struck by the United States last month was mostly destroyed, setting work there back significantly. But the two others were not as badly damaged and may have been degraded only to a point where nuclear enrichment could resume in the next several months if Iran wants it to, according to a recent U.S. assessment of the destruction caused by the military operation, five current and former U.S. officials familiar with the assessment told NBC News.
But, but, but “Iran’s key enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated”!

Who leaked this news? They will be investigated, prosecuted and sent to El Salvador or South Sudan!

Believing that The Atlantic represents anything in the conservative realm is the true misunderstanding of the current political landscape. If anything, claiming that there is any sort of conservative voice that is open with their beliefs on their editorial board is laughable at best.

Acknowledging this isn't blind political herd mentality, I know when I read the Atlantic that I will get a specific perspective from all of their articles.

So it shouldn't have been done then? What are the other options? Bribery?

trump likes to complain about FAKE NEWS and HOAXES and I like to point out when he spreads his own FAKE NEWS and HOAXES. :D

There’s a deep chasm between being a leftist and being a conservative. The Atlantic is often held in contempt by the left exactly because they’re overly centrist.

And Jeffery Goldberg was a huge proponent of the Iraq War.

Do you think the Bulwark isn’t conservative? Do you think because the entire Republican party has swung to the right in so many ways that the ideological centrists have too?
