Jeffrey Goldberg is very busy as editor of The Atlantic so it’s understandable that he trots out old reporting in a piece denouncing Donald Trump as a peddler of conspiracy theory for questioning the official coronavirus death toll.But look at the old reporting: Back in Cairo in 2001, an Islamist told Goldberg that Arabs didn’t execute the strike on the World Trade Center. So Goldberg is back to his old beat, telling us what a scary neighborhood Israel is in.The Middle East is a cauldron of conspiracy, a place where the most bizarre theories often have real policy consequences. But credulity is hardly confined to the Middle East, and Goldberg doesn’t have a right to lecture anyone on the topic. Famously, in the runup to the Iraq war, Goldberg’s own credulity contributed to the rush to a bad judgment. He propagated a few conspiracy theories that turned out to be bogus, and disastrously so.

Remember when Barry Obama entered into a military coalition with the Russians in Syria and started giving them bombing coordinates to radical jihadists we were arming? (While the other jihadists we were arming were fighting the other ones we were arming in an old fashioned DOD vs CIA Jihadist off)? . . . and you guys didn’t give a single solitary eff about it? Now you’re losing your minds because one dude got some texts?? I do agree that Europe needs to pay for Daddy Don keeping their shipping lanes open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dax, what's the difference between editorializing and reporting?
Maybe so, but I won't be concerned until he goes into ICU and doesn't tell anybody and doesn't set up any sort of back up or engage the normal chain of command and fails to inform the CinC that he might be indisposed for a bit

He needs to get help and he needs to go off the radar to do that.
The craziest thing about it is that once upon a time, and maybe even now, the Atlantic was full of huge #neocons
At 8:27, a message arrived from the “Pete Hegseth” account. “VP: I understand your concerns – and fully support you raising w/ POTUS. Important considerations, most of which are tough to know how they play out (economy, Ukraine peace, Gaza, etc). I think messaging is going to be tough no matter what – nobody knows who the Houthis are – which is why we would need to stay focused on: 1) Biden failed & 2) Iran funded.”
