Excerpt:

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 cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” At 4:30 PM Eastern on Tuesday, Guillen’s sister Mayra tweeted the article was “hurtful & disrespectful,” that Trump showed the family nothing but respect, and that she voted for him. However, only 1 of 9 MSNBC stories on the article from the time off Mayra’s tweet through the end of Wednesday mentioned her rebuttal. CNN mentioned the rebuttal in more than half of their stories—6 of 10—but the amount of emphasis they put on it varied greatly.

MSNBC

Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace quoted from the article before elaborating, “That’s Donald Trump using the F word to describe a funeral that he had offered to pay for, for a member of the United States military. With 14 days to go, we apologize for the profanity but we want to quote Donald Trump accurately and be faithful to this extraordinary body of reporting.”

On All In, Chris Hayes ridiculed the campaign’s denial, “His campaign denied he made those comments. You can make up your own mind as to whether or not that sounds like something Donald Trump would say and do.”

Morning Joe co-host Jonathan Lemire welcomed Goldberg and asked him to “tell us, if we will, a little more about this story and what else it tells you and can tell us about how Trump does view those who have, at times, put their lives on the line in military service for this country.”

No one knows former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly better than I do. This bitter, bullying coward should be cast into the dustbin of history for once again smearing Donald Trump, just days before the most important election in modern American history.

It may seem reasonable to assume a four-star general would make a good chief of staff, but that assumption is deeply flawed.

Kelly invariably hated those closest to Trump. As chief of staff, he single-handedly turned Trump allies into bitter and viperous enemies.

Four-star generals like Kelly typically reach the top of their profession because they are seen as the sharpest tools in the military shed. Yet in the West Wing, among uber-elite civilians from academia, the corporate world, and Wall Street, Kelly was consistently the dumbest guy in the room.

Regarding Kelly’s leadership, I had to brace myself physically every time his office called, as it inevitably involved some form of threat or abuse. Some leaders inspire, while others attempt to “lead” through intimidation. Kelly was clearly the latter, and I can’t imagine serving under his command in combat.

Excerpt:

Liberal media symbiosis in action: Jeffrey Goldberg. editor-and-chief of The Atlantic and host of the PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic, appeared as a guest on Wednesday’s PBS News Hour program to discuss his own anonymously sourced Atlantic hit piece, “Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had.’”

Goldberg was serving up allegations about the former president on how he admired the way Adolf Hitler could rely on his generals, plus an even less-plausible story about the former president refusing to pay for the funeral of  “an effing Mexican” soldier.

News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett segued from the evening’s lead campaign story, much of which was devoted to a New York Times audio interview of Gen. John Kelly, former Trump White House chief of staff and current liberal media military hero of the day. Kelly compared Trump to a fascist based on comments the former president made about Hitler that no one else apparently heard — alleged statements made during a presidency now four years past.

And this is nothing new from Kelly either: Curtis Houck revealed that Kelly first leveled his “Hitler” claims in August 2022 in a book for husband-and-wife reporting team Peter Baker (New York Times) and Susan Glasser (The New Yorker).

Excerpt:

A heavily debunked Atlantic hit piece gave Kamala Harris the pretext to justify political violence against former President Donald Trump in a Wednesday afternoon address from the vice president’s official residence in Washington, D.C.

Harris, without an iota of evidence, told the American people that if Trump were to become president again, he would create a dictatorial, Adolf Hitler-esque regime. That exact rhetoric is part of a larger pattern of priming Democrat voters for violent resistance to another Trump presidency. It has been most recently fueled by an Atlantic hit piece that relied on unnamed sources and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, well known for his disdain of Trump, to smear the former president of being a “fascist” and wishing for the kind of generals Hitler had.

“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds-of-thousands of Americans,” Harris said. “All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is, from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room.”

Excerpt:

VP Kamala Harris decided to give a three minute speech repeating lies placed in The Atlantic on Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly said he “admired” Adolf Hitler.

No, Trump brought up Rommel. Maybe someone should remind Harris and everyone else that those in charge of the Allies even admired Rommel:

During the height of Rommel’s success in North Africa, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sang his praises before the House of Commons. “We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us,” Churchill declared, “and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.” George Patton, Bernard Montgomery and other top Allied generals likewise expressed their respect for him, and Rommel responded in kind, saying of Patton that “we saw the most astonishing achievement in mobile warfare,” and that “Montgomery never made a serious strategic mistake.”

Excerpt:

It’s not that the Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief, Jeffery Goldberg, has the journalistic ethics of a drunk National Enquirer reporter. It’s that the entire media spreads his gossip without a hint of skepticism.

A new hit piece from the Atlantic, reminiscent of an old hit piece from the publication, reported that former President Donald Trump belittled a dead soldier and praised Hitler’s generals (and what self-respecting piece about Trump doesn’t mention der Fuhrer?)

The first thing to remember is that Goldberg could literally make up any quote from an alleged “anonymous” source, and he would face no repercussions. No major outlet will challenge the veracity of his shoddy work, which breaks numerous journalistic norms, because his accusations are aimed at the right target. The media, after all, is now the democracy-saving business.

CBS News, fully devolved into hyperpartisanship with just two weeks to go before the presidential election, repackaged a garbage article from The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg for the purpose of harming former President Donald Trump’s gains with the Hispanic community.

Watch as anchor Norah O’Donnell and correspondent Nikole Killion kick off the CBS Evening News with this report:

NORAH O’DONNELL: Two weeks from Election Day, as the final battleground sprint is underway. Every hour matters for these candidates as they try to reach as many voters as possible in the key states that will decide this election. For Donald Trump, that meant speaking at a roundtable in Florida at his golf club courting the Latino vote. After that campaign stop, a new report that Trump, while president, used the F word to describe a murdered Mexican-American soldier. That story is that Trump scoffed at the price of a funeral he offered to pay for Private Vanessa Guillen, something Trump’s team tonight denies. We have both campaigns covered tonight. We’re going to start with CBS’s Nikole Killion. She is on the trail with Donald Trump in Florida. Good evening, Nikole.

There are generally two types of “October Surprises.”

There are the sorts of nasty political surprises that can actually hit a campaign right on the head. You can usually identify these by the response — or lack thereof — to the surprise.

And then, there are the, pun very much intended, trumped up surprises that are so heinously manufactured, the surprise can’t help but fall apart under the slightest bit of scrutiny.

(Of course there are good surprises, too.)

Guess what sort of “surprise” the latest one targeting former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, is?

For those of you who are blissfully unaware of the mainstream media’s more diabolical tactics, Trump came under some fire this week when a report from The Atlantic attributed some offensive quotes to the former president.

Excerpt:

 

We’ve written about the disgusting hit piece on President Donald Trump by The Atlantic with another unnamed “source” about what Trump supposedly said in a meeting about a murdered soldier, Vanessa Guillen.

It has now been roundly debunked by people who were present as well as blasted by Guillen’s sister Mayra and the family attorney.

Guillen accused them of exploiting her sister’s death for politics and said Trump had been nothing but respectful to their family and, in fact, she just voted for him.
