Atlantic is owned by Steve Job's ex wife, Laurene Powell Jobs. She is openly anti-trump.

Not saying its not a good paper, just saying you are not going to get neutral news from them.

An owner of a newspaper doesn't have to destroy the journalistic independence of the newspaper's editors.

And someone’s ex doesn’t have to call them shitty either.

But oh boy does it happen.

By your logic, everyone who has an ex talks shit. It does happen, but it doesn't make valid reasoning.

I’m saying if you don’t seriously consider that someone is talking shit about their ex when talking to someone, until proven otherwise, you’ll be easy to fool eh?

The claim I was commenting on was "you are not going to get neutral news from them." Neither Powell Jobs nor The Atlantic is an ex of Trump.

So close…

They are political opponents though, correct?

Wait, so I can’t get neutral news about cancer from an oncologist?

Is your oncologist leading a controversial campaign against another set of oncologists with opposing views?

No, he just says cancer is bad. But apparently everything needs “both sides” treatment these days.

And the Editor in Chief is Jeffery Goldberg, of Iraq WMD conspiracy theory fame. I’m not saying they don’t publish good pieces, but seriously, talk about not a reliable source.
