The FBI denies the probe; The Atlantic defends the reporting, highlighting concerns about press freedom and DOJ policies on handling reporters’ records, which have evolved under Garland and were later altered by the current administration.

FBI Director Patel Files $250 Million Defamation Suit Against The Atlantic

FBI Director Kash Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit in D.C. federal court against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick, alleging the article The Atlantic published about his alleged excessive drinking and unexplained absences contains false, fabricated claims that threaten his reputation and position. The Atlantic defends the reporting, saying it stands by its story, while Patel argues the piece relied on anonymous sources and failed to give him adequate time to respond. The suit cites the public-figure standard of actual malice and places Patel’s dispute within a broader pattern of Trump-era media litigation.

Measles, Narrative Truth, and Persuasion: Bruenig’s Hypothetical Essay

An interview analyzes Elizabeth Bruenig's The Atlantic piece that presents a hypothetical, heavily researched measles narrative in second person, blending fiction and journalism to show the disease's biology, public-health response, and long-term risks like SSPE; Bruenig discusses her research, why she framed it as creative nonfiction, and how the editor's note clarifies it's based on reporting rather than a single true family's story—aimed at informing readers and prompting reflection on vaccination decisions despite mixed reader reactions.

"The Atlantic, Top Newspapers, and MSNBC Unite to Prevent Second Trump Term Threatening America's Existence"

The Atlantic, along with other major media outlets such as The Washington Post and The New York Times, has launched a campaign against a potential second term for Donald Trump. The Atlantic's entire issue is dedicated to the dangers of another Trump presidency, with top staff writers expressing their concerns. While some stories about Trump are fair game, the media's relentless focus on him has led to accusations of bias and opposition party behavior. Trump's claims of a rigged election and his use of provocative language provide ammunition for his critics, while President Biden receives more favorable coverage.

The Dire Consequences of a Second Trump Term

The Dire Consequences of a Second Trump Term

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, has warned that a second term for Donald Trump would pose a threat to the existence of America as we know it. In a special edition of the magazine titled "If Trump Wins," Goldberg and his team lay out how a second Trump term would shred norms, weaponize government, warp the rule of law, and degrade democracy. Goldberg emphasizes that his position is not partisan but about pro-democracy Americans versus authoritarians. He believes it is the duty of journalists to speak plainly about the dangerous forces at play and not to self-censor. Goldberg also warns of the potential consequences for the press, as Trump has already shown hostility towards the media and could further attempt to muzzle critics if he were to regain power.
