Just when you thought The Atlantic couldn't get any worse

Some -berg wrote yet another story for The Atlantic about how Drumpf is Literally Hitler. That's not really remarkable, they've been doing that for a decade. This one's way worse though. Here's the story in case you want to lose some braincells:

Inside this bloviating article (ever notice how -bergs always write like that? It's like they're addicted to the sound of their metaphorical voice), the -berg claims that Trump promised to pay for the funeral expenses in public, and then later declined to do so in private and referred to the victim (Army soldier murdered by another soldier - yes, black) as "a fucking Mexican".

Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Later that day, he was still agitated. “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.”

Not only is this an obvious hitpiece, because the story takes place in 2020 and the article has been published on Oct 22, 2024, two weeks before the election. It's also completely fabricated, according to basically everyone, including the victim's family.

You don't hate journalists enough. You might think you do, but you don't.
