It characterizes Lemire as a \u200dpartisan propagandist who has spread misinformation on various topics, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tyrannical-joes\/\" title=\"Oppressive Joes\">including political events<\/a> and figures. The piece discusses the magazine&#8217;s ongoing struggles with credibility, referencing its past publication \u200bof sensational and extremist headlines\u2062 that prompted public\u200b denouncements. it suggests that The Atlantic, \u2063under the leadership \u200dof Jeffrey Goldberg, continues to enlist \u2062writers who align with its increasingly controversial editorial stance in an effort to maintain influence in Washington. The article implies that \u2064such hires only contribute to\u200b a broader crisis of legitimacy for the publication,advocating for it to be &#8216;choked off&#8217; \u200band lose its grip on media relevance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PruKeing40o\" target=\"_blank\">MSNBC\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/15\/time-to-snuff-out-atlantic-mag-the-refugee-camp-for-all-the-worst-in-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Time%20To%20Snuff%20Out%20Atlantic%20Mag,%20The%20Refugee%20Camp%20For%20All%20The%20Worst%20In%20Media&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/15\/time-to-snuff-out-atlantic-mag-the-refugee-camp-for-all-the-worst-in-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Time%20To%20Snuff%20Out%20Atlantic%20Mag,%20The%20Refugee%20Camp%20For%20All%20The%20Worst%20In%20Media&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/15\/time-to-snuff-out-atlantic-mag-the-refugee-camp-for-all-the-worst-in-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/15\/time-to-snuff-out-atlantic-mag-the-refugee-camp-for-all-the-worst-in-media\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Time%20To%20Snuff%20Out%20Atlantic%20Mag,%20The%20Refugee%20Camp%20For%20All%20The%20Worst%20In%20Media&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/15\/time-to-snuff-out-atlantic-mag-the-refugee-camp-for-all-the-worst-in-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The Atlantic reminded everyone of its miserable existence this week with a chipper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/press-releases\/archive\/2025\/01\/new-writers-caity-weaver-jonathan-lemire-alex-reisner\/681304\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release<\/a> stating it had enlisted MSNBC morning host and Grinch doppelganger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/01\/localimages\/1082850_v9_aa.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jonathan Lemire<\/a> as a contributing writer, the latest in a spate of monstrosities retained by the publication.<\/p>\n<p>Lemire, a former Associated Press and Politico reporter, is the quintessential Democrat propagandist, having lied for years about virtually everything, big and small.

He&rsquo;s a perfect fit for a magazine that now so routinely publishes laughably extreme, absurd pieces that twice in the same month last year it had to release formal statements denying that it had run articles with titles like &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/press-releases\/archive\/2024\/10\/images-circulating-fabricated-atlantic-headlines\/680261\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To Save Democracy [Kamala] Harris May Need To Steal An Election<\/a>&rdquo; and &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/press-releases\/archive\/2024\/10\/atlantic-fake-headline-trump-hitler\/680341\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trump Is Literally Hitler<\/a>.&rdquo; When your &ldquo;news and opinion&rdquo; operation has become so hysterical, so incorrigible that normal people could believe it really would publish those headlines, there&rsquo;s something of a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">legitimacy crisis taking place<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The whole magazine needs to be choked off, encased in lead, and tossed into some great body of water bearing a name that fits. That will happen in due time but not without the final push it&rsquo;s currently engaging in to keep some grip on influence in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The Lemire announcement comes just a few days after the magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/press-releases\/archive\/2024\/12\/ashley-parker-and-michael-scherer-join-atlantic\/681190\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hired Ashley Parker<\/a> &mdash; a Washington Post alum who as recently as February of last year crafted an article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/02\/26\/trump-russia-putin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">headlined<\/a> &ldquo;Russia looms over yet another Trump presidential campaign&rdquo; &mdash;&nbsp;and her former Post colleague Michael Scherer, who with heaping professionalism <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/white-identity-politics-drives-trump-and-the-republican-party-under-him\/2019\/07\/16\/a5ff5710-a733-11e9-a3a6-ab670962db05_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">characterized<\/a> Trump&rsquo;s 2020 reelection campaign as &ldquo;the same explosive mix of white grievance and anti-immigrant nativism that helped elect him.&rdquo; More Russia and more bigotry accusations. Just what The Atlantic needs to shore up its credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/press-releases\/archive\/2024\/11\/jonathan-chait-joins-atlantic-staff-writer\/680622\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to the team<\/a> a little before that was former New York magazine left-winger Jonathan Chait, an enthusiastic <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2018\/09\/kavanaugh-would-be-the-trumpiest-supreme-court-justice.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perpetrator<\/a> of the ruinous if <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/12\/02\/21-reasons-not-to-believe-christine-blasey-fords-claims-about-justice-kavanaugh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">incredibly weak accusation<\/a> that Justice Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape a woman in high school, despite overwhelming evidence that the claim was fake. And these remarkable hires come after Goldberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/press-releases\/archive\/2024\/10\/atlantic-returns-monthly-publication\/680223\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> in October that it would print a dozen issues per year, instead of the 10 issues it had been doing. Goodie.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic is led by a man who twice now has spread thoroughly debunked and, in fact, patently absurd stories that Trump has callously denigrated <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/09\/10\/iraq-war-vet-im-done-being-suckered-by-jeffery-goldbergs-false-reporting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deceased American troops<\/a>, admired Hitler, and privately <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/22\/sister-of-deceased-soldier-blasts-the-atlantic-for-latest-anti-trump-fabrications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belittled<\/a> a murder victim in racial terms. Those who could corroborate the stories have all refuted them on record, other than Trump&rsquo;s embittered former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, who just a few days before the 2024 election decided it was a good time (several years after the fact) to claim that Trump was a secret Hitler fan.<\/p>\n<p>This is the publication quickly offering shelter to the media&rsquo;s most detestable people.
