Looks like this stupid piece didn’t even survive a week. Another In the endless line of duds. Look at how many fell for it though simply because they wanted to. The so called bias experts caught in their own do loop.
Oh, the guys at The Atlantic say they have more.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
That's the plan.
Which would be fun if Trump wins reelection. Imagine the raspberry heard around the world.

I, too, would enjoy to see certain heads explode in that case. But I would also enjoy to see another set of heads explode if Biden wins. I can't quite decide yet which one would be more fun.

You wont see any heads exploding if Biden wins. Youll just see the real Americans trying to salvage the nation.
You'll also see the beginning of the end of the United States.

Take a tour through WTF and TNCR and tell the the personality types that are more unstable around whichever politician happens to be elected. Or extrapolate that to pop culture in general. Or even better yet, eschew the common tack of equalizing both political sides and explore the systematic psychological differences between the two. Self selected groups should be fruitful for such explorations.

The only truly terrible President in my lifetime was Jimmy Carter. Too young to remember Gerald Ford. It’s just the oppressiveness of having to listen to facist idealists that bothers me and why I would like to see them lose.

There was a lot of "We defend anonymous sources, just look at Deep Throat!" talk today.
OK, fine.
The fact that Deep Throat was in jeopardy on a legal basis is exactly like Goldberg's comment about "mean tweets."
Exactly.
Again, I'm not saying that what these people are saying is false. I'm saying that the medium they used to say it has a shaky history of honesty, and that is shown in the "weather" claim they purported. I'm also saying that Jennifer Griffin's "confirmation" is simply rehashing what the same people said to The Atlantic.
How about some independent reporting, like...Bolton?
And, for the record, as I've said, Trump's a boor.

Deep Throat told them where to look. But they still produced their own hard evidence. That's a huge difference.

Exactly. That kind of comparison is weak. Do the "legwork," Mr. "Journalist," don't report what unnamed people tell you.

So, do we believe John Bolton? If so, then we should believe the things he said also in his book, no?

Like I said bizarre. But the Atlantic has its work cut out for it.

I thought The Atlantic was going to follow up on this? Did anyone see it or did they hit and run?
