Tuesday Was a Microcosm of Everything Wrong with the Democrats' Closing Pitch

“I had to get through a ceremony… and the ceremony was to get burned.”

The unexpected discovery calls into question the assumption black holes are formed through supernovae, with accompanying disruption to nearby stars.

Remember the good ole days when polite society, even rude society, did not tolerate mental breakdowns in public? Blubbering in front of people used to be embarrassing, and rightfully so.  But now, with the help of social media, it’s not only cool to lose our collective crap, it’s encouraged!  Related: Woke of the Weak: It's NOT okay NOT to be okay.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert once again turned The Late Show into The Late DNC Show on Tuesday as he invited Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman to the program to beg reluctant voters to pick Kamala Harris in two weeks. With the context that Fetterman’s career began with a one-vote mayoral victory, Colbert opened up the floor, “Do you have anything to say to the people out there who might be feeling a little weary of politics and are thinking about staying home and not voting at all?”     Fetterman urged, “Quite literally, I wouldn't have the honor of sitting in this chair next to you if one single person stayed home that day in May of 2005 and I won by one literal vote and if that didn't happen, the chain was broken and I never would've have had the career. I wouldn't be that Pennsylvania senator and I wouldn't be able to make sure that Kamala Harris is going to be our next president, going across Pennsylvania to make sure that happens.” Colbert then sought to do more strategizing, “Is there early voting in Pennsylvania? Do you know, senator, does Pennsylvania have early voting?” Fetterman took the opportunity to remind people what he considered to be a blot on Trump’s first term, “Yes. They do, absolutely. In fact, when I was lieutenant governor, Governor Wolf put that in and it made it possible to really do that during the pandemic as well too. People can't forget that too. That’s part of why would anybody go back to Trump in 2020? That was the pandemic. We couldn't be doing this right now four years ago, having this conversation.” Colbert then moved onto the matter of how Pennsylvania counts their votes, deciding not the counter that the present conversation would not be happening four years ago regardless of who the president was and proving, yet again, late night is where Democrats go for free air time and friendly interviews. Here is a transcript for the October 22-taped show: CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 10/23/2024 12:18 AM ET STEPHEN COLBERT: Do you have anything to say to the people out there who might be feeling a little weary of politics and are thinking about staying home and not voting at all? JOHN FETTERMAN: Quite literally, I wouldn't have the honor of sitting in this chair next to you if one single person stayed home that day in May of 2005 and I won by one literal vote and if that didn't happen, the chain was broken and I never would've have had the career. I wouldn't be that Pennsylvania senator and I wouldn't be able to make sure that Kamala Harris is going to be our next president, going across Pennsylvania to make sure that happens. COLBERT: Is there early voting in Pennsylvania? Do you know, senator, does Pennsylvania have early voting? FETTERMAN: Yes. They do, absolutely. In fact, when I was lieutenant governor, Governor Wolf put that in and it made it possible to really do that during the pandemic as well too. People can't forget that too. That’s part of why would anybody go back to Trump in 2020? That was the pandemic. We couldn't be doing this right now four years ago, having this conversation.

For our first annual Free Speech Awards, the Media Research Center (MRC) is honoring 35 champions of the First Amendment, including five members of the U.S. Senate (announced Monday), and 10 members of the U.S. House of Representatives (announced posted Tuesday), 10 additional public officials today and 10 outstanding advocates of free speech in non-governmental organizations on Thursday. Today, we are honoring 10 public officials who have fought to protect free speech in America through their positions in state and non-legislative federal governments. The MRC’s inaugural 2024 Free Speech Awards recipients include Ken Paxton, Ashley Moody,  Andrew Bailey, Brendan Carr, Bryan Hughes, Ron Desantis, Greg Abbott, Paul Kanitra, Dave Yost and Jeff Landry.  In announcing the Free Speech Award winners, MRC Founder and President Brent Bozzell said, “The 2024 MRC Free Speech Awards are not just for Washington insiders. The 2024 Top 10 Political Leaders were instrumental in protecting freedoms nationwide. Some of the best defenders of the First Amendment are on the state level or agencies.”  Bozell continued: “This past year, we saw Governors Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and Jeff Landry fight Big Tech censorship. Attorneys General Ken Paxton, Ashley Moody, Andrew Bailey, and Dave Yost took the fight to Big Tech, bringing lawsuits and challenging them. For his part, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has done yeoman’s work in defending free speech, as have state legislators Bryan Hughes of Texas and Paul Kanitra of New Jersey.” Three of the 10 public officials receiving awards have faced online censorship as documented by MRC Free Speech America’s exclusive CensorTrack database. ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Governor Greg Abbott Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has led the Lone Star State since 2014. During his tenure, he has worked bipartisanly, developed Texas’s infrastructure, and created a successful economy. Earlier this year, TIME magazine recognized Abbot as one of the most influential people in the world.    Abbott has led the fight for free speech in Texas to declare Big Tech platforms common carriers and to prevent their relentless discrimination against conservative viewpoints.  Notably, in August 2021, he signed House Bill 20 into law, which prevented Big Tech platforms from banning users based on their political views.  "We will always defend the freedom of speech in Texas, which is why I am proud to sign House Bill 20 into law to protect First Amendment rights in the Lone Star State," Abbott said in a statement announcing the law's enactment. ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Attorney General Andrew Bailey Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has worked tirelessly to protect constitutional rights, enforce laws as written and train a new generation of attorneys to carry on his work.  Bailey has defended the First Amendment against the Biden-Harris censorship regime, consistently holding Big Tech accountable for infringing upon constitutionally-protected free speech rights.  Bailey inherited and carried through the Murthy v. Missouri lawsuit, brought by his predecessor against the Biden administration in the Summer of 2022. The suit was an effort to hold the federal government accountable for pressuring social media companies to censor unfavorable stories and political speech.  “We must build a wall of separation between tech and state to preserve our First Amendment right to free, fair, and open debate,” Bailey said in a statement related to the lawsuit. “Missouri will continue to lead the way in the fight to defend our most fundamental freedoms.” ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr was nominated by former President Donald Trump in 2017 and re-nominated by President Joe Biden in 2023. Carr has leveraged his extensive experience in communications and tech since he began working for the FCC as a staffer in 2012.  Carr has been a consistent champion of free speech rights. He fought against what many have described as the weaponization of the federal government against tech mogul Elon Musk. Carr called out the FCC’s expedited and potentially unlawful handover of radio stations to leftist billionaire George Soros.  “Pressuring social media companies into censoring the constitutionally protected speech of everyday Americans is not how you protect democracy,” Carr said in response to Democratic calls for censorship on social media platforms. ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Governor Ron Desantis Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended his country and American freedom through his service in the U.S. Navy for which he was awarded a Bronze Star. DeSantis also worked as a federal prosecutor and represented Florida’s Sixth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives before being elected governor in 2018.  As governor, DeSantis has led the fight in the Sunshine State to prevent Big Tech platforms from censoring media outlets and political figures based on their political viewpoints. He signed SB 7072 into law, which limits Big Tech’s ability to censor users based on viewpoint discrimination, as a publisher might. DeSantis released a statement about the pro-free speech bill after he signed it in 2021, affirming: “Many in our state have experienced censorship and other tyrannical behavior firsthand in Cuba and Venezuela. If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable.” ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Texas State Senator Bryan Hughes Texas State Senator Bryan Hughes (R) is a lifelong Texan, a first-generation college graduate and a lawyer who has been an advocate for traditional values. He has advocated for school choice policies, made efforts to protect women’s sports, and has received several awards for his service to his constituents, including the Visionary Leader Award and the Horizon Award.  Hughes has also been a leader in the effort to protect constitutionally-protected speech by deeming Big Tech platforms to be common carriers. He also proposed HB 7, which directly limited the ability of social media companies to block users from posting based on their political viewpoints.   The Texas senator spoke to the importance of the law when it faced a legal challenge earlier this year, saying, “Social media companies can control the outcome of an election by the messages they allow to get through and other messages that they push forward.”  ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: New Jersey Assemblyman Paul Kanitra New Jersey Assemblyman Paul Kanitra is a former councilman and mayor of Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey—and currently represents the Garden State’s 10th district. He previously worked as an aide to U.S. Representative Mike Ferguson. Kanitra has received many accolades including the Distinguished Citizen Award in 2021.  In the New Jersey Assembly, Kanitra has been a leading legislator in the fight against Big Tech censorship and has built strong coalitions to protect free speech rights. He sponsored legislation during his tenure like Assembly Action A4738, which prevents social media sites from removing users' accounts through suspension, deletion or other means.  ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Governor Jeff Landry  Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry began his career as a police officer, working his way to become sheriff deputy, a U.S. congressman and later the Pelican State’s attorney general. He was subsequently elected governor in 2023. During his stint as attorney general, Landry along with then-Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, launched the Murthy v. Missouri lawsuit to hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable for colluding and coercing Big Tech platforms to censor free speech.  The suit implicated defendants President Joe Biden, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. The Plaintiffs additionally brought the suit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Homeland Security. Through this lawsuit and the evidence uncovered in legal discovery, it became very clear just how aggressively the Biden-Harris administration has championed censorship. In a written testimony for the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in the House of Representatives, Landry shared what his litigation uncovered: “Publicly, these federal actors have justified their deeds in the name of protecting the public against ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation,’ when in fact it is done to suppress disfavored views.”   As governor, he has also spearheaded a crusade to uphold free speech rights on the Louisiana State University campus. Landry signed an Executive Order, JML 24-154, which aimed to protect all viewpoints and encouraged vigorous debate in classrooms. ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Attorney General Ashley Moody  Before being elected attorney general, Ashley Moody was a successful lawyer and judge. She worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office where she pursued the prosecution of illegal drugs, firearms and fraud. Moody became the youngest judge in Florida when she was elected to the thirteenth circuit court in 2006 and was elected attorney general in 2018.   As attorney general, Moody has consistently led the fight against Big Tech’s unlawful censorship of constitutionally-protected speech, bringing multiple lawsuits to hold Big Tech accountable for its actions. For example, Moody defended Florida Gov. DeSantis’s free speech bill against a legal challenge brought by far-left tech trade association NetChoice.  She also joined 18 other state attorneys general in their denouncement of the Biden administration's attack on free speech.  “President Biden is attempting to confuse and distort legitimate criticism and the perspective of American citizens,” Moody stated in a press release. “This authoritarian maneuver could be straight out of the novel 1984 and should frighten Americans of all political persuasions." ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Attorney General Ken Paxton  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has served as the Lone Star State’s top law enforcement official since 2014 during which time he has upheld his constituents’s constitutional rights, combated human trafficking throughout the state and led the most successful child support division in the nation. Paxton has also consistently led the fight against Big Tech’s unlawful censorship of constitutionally-protected speech, bringing multiple lawsuits to hold Big Tech accountable for their actions. In defense of the Texas free speech law signed by Texas Gov. Abbott, Paxton spoke out against Big Tech companies for wantonly censoring viewpoints that counter the left’s narrative.  “These massive corporate entities cannot continue to go unchecked as they silence the voices of millions of Americans,” Paxton said in 2022. “HB 20 was designed to protect every Texan wanting to fully express his or her First Amendment rights, and the court made the right decision in upholding the law.” He further defended this law holding Big Tech accountable in court when he was sued by far-left tech trade association NetChoice in Paxton v. NetChoice. ♦ 2024 MRC Free Speech Award Winner: Attorney General Dave Yost  Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost began his public service career as a Delaware County, Ohio auditor, eventually pursuing the attorney general's office, which he won in 2019. He rose to national prominence because of his emphasis on the rule of law, stating that “the same rules for everybody” was a guiding principle.    Yost has also led the fight against Google, the most prominent source of censorship in America, by bringing litigation to declare it a common carrier in Ohio. This would make the tech giant subject to government regulation which is the first step to blocking Google censorship in the future. The case, Ohio v. Google, is ongoing and is anticipated to go to trial next year. Yost also wrote an amicus brief to the Supreme Court advocating for free speech when it was deciding Murthy v. Missouri. “The federal government doesn’t get to play referee on the field of public discourse,” Yost said. “If you let them decide what speech is OK, one day yours might not be.” MRC Free Speech America Assistant Editor Luis Cornelio and Staff Writer Tom Olohan contributed to this report.

On October 20 CBS News issued a defensive statement on their sleazy edit of their 60 Minutes interview with the Vice President, insisting they did nothing wrong. But their deceptive cutting up of video — to make Kamala Harris look better — isn’t the only way they’ve been aiding the Harris-Walz campaign.  Five brand new Harris controversies have unfolded in October which CBS News has completely ignored.   From Harris dodging questions about her craziest policies, to being accused of plagiarism, the following are five brand new Kamala Harris controversies the so-called “Tiffany network” has yet to touch on their evening (CBS Evening News) or morning (CBS Mornings; CBS’s Face the Nation) shows:     1. Harris Dodges Question About Support for Taxpayer Funded Transgender Surgery for Illegal Aliens in Prison     On October 18, The Federalist reported:  Vice President Kamala Harris told Fox News host Bret Baier she would “follow the law” when asked about her support for prisoner “sex change” surgeries. According to the law under the Biden-Harris administration, trans-identifying prisoners could be entitled to taxpayer dollars for the procedures. On Wednesday, Baier presented Harris with an ad from former President Donald Trump’s campaign airing the then-California senator’s endorsement of trans surgeries for prison inmates. During a sit-down interview with the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) in 2019, Harris spoke about her time as attorney general when she “made sure that they changed the policy in the state of California so that every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desired and need,” including requested surgery. “Are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender?” Baier asked. “I will follow the law,” she said, “and it’s a law that Donald Trump actually followed.” CBS evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   2. Harris Ducks Question About Joe Biden’s Mental Decline      On October 16, FoxNews.com reported:  Vice President Kamala Harris was confronted with questions about her knowledge of President Biden’s mental decline during her interview Wednesday with Fox News’ Bret Baier.  “You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game, that ran around circles on his staff. When did you first notice that President Biden's mental faculties appeared diminished?” Baier asked.  After a brief pause to the question, Harris continued touting Biden’s ability in office. “Joe Biden, I have watched from the Oval Office to the Situation Room, and he has the judgment and the experience to do exactly what he has done in making very important decisions on behalf of the American people,” Harris said.  “There were no concerns raised?” Baier followed. “Bret, Joe Biden is not on the ballot…and Donald Trump is,” Harris responded.  CBS evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   3. Harris’s Husband Doug Emhoff Reportedly Abused Ex-Girlfriend     On October 11, the New York Post reported:  Second gentleman Doug Emhoff did not deny allegations Friday that he “forcefully” struck an ex-girlfriend more than a decade ago following a booze-filled evening in France, instead calling the claim a “distraction.” MSNBC host Joe Scarborough asked Emhoff in a clip from an interview that will air Monday on “Morning Joe” to respond to several “tabloid stories about your personal life” — an apparent reference to recent Daily Mail reports that he slapped his former flame and hired a “trophy secretary” at his high-powered Los Angeles law firm. “We don’t have time to be pissed off,” the second gentleman said in response. “We don’t have time to focus on it. It’s all a distraction. It’s designed to try to get us off our game.” CBS evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   4. Harris Admits She Remains Open to Reparations On October 15, USA Today reported:  Kamala Harris remained open to reparations for slavery and agreed with an accusation that Donald Trump supports fascism in a wide-ranging interview Tuesday with popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God. “This is a margin-of-error race. It’s tight. I’m gonna win. I’m gonna win, but it’s tight,” Harris told listeners at the top of an hour-long interview, three weeks before Election Day as the Democratic nominee expands her outreach to Black voters, in particular, Black men. Harris, who would be the first Black female president if elected, has sharpened her pitch to African American voters – a critical Democratic constituency – while polling suggests Trump has made slight inroads with Black male voters.… Harris told Charlamagne that reparations for descendants of enslaved people should be studied, but stopped short of endorsing a reparations plan.  “On the point of reparations, it has to be studied. There’s no question about that. And I’ve been very clear about that position,” said Harris, who as a U.S. senator from California backed legislation that would have created a federal commission to study slavery reparations. CBS evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   5. Kamala Harris Accused of Plagiarism  On October 14, FoxNews.com reported:  Vice President Harris is being accused of plagiarizing from several sources in her 2009 book on policing that was released while she was district attorney of San Francisco.  The book, “Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer,” was co-authored with Joan O’C Hamilton.  The so-called “plagiarism hunter,” Austrian professor Stefan Weber, found 27 times that Harris, the 2024 Democrat nominee for president, and her co-author allegedly committed some form of plagiarism. He found that “24 fragments are plagiarism from other authors, [and] 3 fragments are self-plagiarism from a work written with a co-author.” Manhattan Institute senior fellow and conservative activist Chris Rufo first reported on the allegation on Monday, pointing to multiple examples from Harris' book in which entire sentences and phrases were apparently lifted from other sources without the use of quotations, though in some cases a footnote cites the source.  “Taken in total, there is certainly a breach of standards here. Harris and her co-author duplicated long passages nearly verbatim without proper citation and without quotation marks, which is the textbook definition of plagiarism,” Rufo wrote.  Fox News Digital independently verified that Harris’ book features verbatim and near-verbatim reproductions from a 2008 NBC News report, a press release from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, a Wikipedia page and a report from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), among others. CBS evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan may be a lifelong Democrat, but that didn’t stop him from absolutely obliterating his own party during his Al Smith Dinner speech. “President Biden couldn’t be here tonight, the DNC made sure of that,” Gaffigan said to thunderous applause. “You know, this has been an interesting presidential campaign. The Democrats have been telling us Trump’s re-election is a threat to democracy.” “In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, that they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent, and installed Kamala Harris,” he continued. “In other words, all her dreams have come true.” Gaffigan’s jokes were so undeniably true, that even Chuck Schumer was laughing — and Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is impressed. “The whole point of comedy is that you say something true, and you have a twist to it, then you laugh, and then you’re able to think about something. That’s what good comedy is, right? You get somebody to think about something through laughter,” Rubin says. “If you just run up to somebody and say the truth, they might punch you in the face, but Chuck Schumer laughing at the joke about the DNC pulling off the coup, does kind of tell you a little something,” he continues. While conservatives felt relieved by Gaffigan acknowledging the truth through his jokes, he didn’t just go after the Democrats. “He made fun of Trump, he made fun of Republicans,” Rubin says. “Just a year ago, it would be fair to say he had Trump Derangement Syndrome, talking about January 6 with Joe Rogan.” “This guy is certainly not a Trumper, he’s not a Republican, he’s not a conservative, anything else, but here he is making fun of the Dems, and the Dems don’t even show up,” he adds.

The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, is at it again, smearing former President Donald Trump with anonymous sources and providing ammunition for Democrat political attacks ahead of Election Day. Unfortunately for Goldberg and his anti-Trump narrative, people who were actually in the room at the time the remarks were supposedly made have indicated that nothing of the sort happened — that it's more fake news. Army Private Vanessa Guillén — posthumously promoted to the rank of specialist — was murdered inside the armory at Fort Hood in April 2020 by a fellow soldier. Goldberg claimed that Trump volunteered to help financially with Guillén's funeral but then raged upon learning the total cost. According to the hit piece, Trump said, "It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f***ing Mexican!" and ordered his then-chief of staff, Mark Meadows, not to pay. Meadows, a leading character in Goldberg's narrative, noted Tuesday, "I was in the discussions featured in the Atlantic's latest hit piece against President Trump. Let me say this. Any suggestion that President Trump disparaged Ms. Guillen or refused to pay for her funeral expenses is absolutely false." 'President Donald Trump absolutely did not say that.' "He was nothing but kind, gracious, and wanted to make sure that the military and the U.S. government did right by Vanessa Guillen and her family," added Meadows. Ben Williamson, a former senior communications adviser for the Trump White House and spokesman for Meadows, provided insight into the extent of Goldberg's dishonesty, highlighting the substantial disparity between Meadows' statement, as provided to the Atlantic, and what was ultimately printed in the final piece. Williamson indicated that he shared the following statement from Meadows with the Atlantic via text: President Donald Trump absolutely did not say that. He was nothing but kind, gracious, and wanting to make sure that the military and the U.S. government did right by Gloria Guillen and her daughter Vanessa Guillen. As for the allegation that he told me to refuse payment: That is not true. Williamson noted that the "Atlantic translated that comment to 'didn't hear Trump say it.' Treat this dishonest piece accordingly." 'He used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillen's murder ... for cheap political gain.' Trump spokesman Alex Pfeiffer similarly relayed a narrative-killing statement to the Atlantic from then-acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller's chief of staff, Kash Patel, but it appears to have made it into the article unscathed: As someone who was present in the room with President Trump, he strongly urged that Spc. Vanessa Guillen's grieving family should not have to bear the cost of any funeral arrangements, even offering to personally pay himself in order to honor her life and sacrifice. In addition, President Trump was able to have the Department of Defense designate her death as occurring "in the line of duty," which gave her full military honors and provided her family access to benefits, services, and complete financial assistance. Natalie Khawam, the attorney for the Guillén family quoted in the Atlantic hit piece, characterized Goldberg as a liar. "After having dealt with hundreds of reporters in my legal career, this is unfortunately the first time I have to go on record and call out Jeffrey Goldberg," wrote Khawam. "Not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he outright LIED in HIS sensational story. More importantly, he used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillen's murder ... for cheap political gain." Extra to noting the curious timing of the hit piece, Khawam tweeted, "Not only did Trump support our military, he also invited my clients to the Oval Office and supported the I Am Vanessa Guillen bill too." Goldberg's smear was so unbelievable that even Guillén's sister, Mayra, put her foot down Tuesday, calling out the Atlantic for its dishonesty and ghoulish attempt to exploit the service member's death for political purposes. "Wow. I don't appreciate how you are exploiting my sister's death for politics," wrote Mayra Guillén. "Hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today." Even though Goldberg's report has significant credibility issues, the Democratic National Committee circulated it widely as though it were true — just as it circulated Goldberg's last election-time hit piece. Weeks ahead of the 2020 election, Goldberg claimed that during a trip to Paris in 2018, Trump called fallen soldiers "suckers" and "losers." Despite its liberal skew, even Snopes acknowledged there was "no evidence of an audio or video recording of the remarks in question, nor was there any documentation, such as transcripts or presidential notes, to independently confirm or deny the alleged quotes' authenticity." Blaze News senior editor for politics Christopher Bedford noted shortly after Goldberg's 2020 hit piece debuted that Goldberg had centered his piece on "secondary-source rumor-mongering" even though it was contradicted by substantial primary sources, including both people and documents. "That should have earned a swift no-publish call, but instead their qualms went completely unmentioned," wrote Bedford. "An unskeptical belief the president is a bad man who must be defeated has led to discarding an ever-growing number of essential journalistic practices. It's the reason more and more Americans don't trust their media — and it's a good one." None of those problems stopped Democrats from running with a story they'd already known was coming. The 2020 hit piece was published on a Thursday night, but by Friday morning, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" had "the exclusive" on a polished Democrat attack ad featuring veterans attacking Trump over specific allegations in the article. Laurene Powell Jobs — the president of Emerson Collective, which owns the Atlantic — just happens to be one of Kamala Harris' biggest financial backers and has been shoveling cash her way since 2003. Goldberg's article ostensibly serves as a different kind of campaign support. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
