Atlantic Mag-Dominated PBS Roundtable: Shutdown Shows 'Cruelty Is the Point'

The Atlantic’s take-over of PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable has formed a closed circle of liberal grievance.

After Washington Week with The Atlantic moderator Jeffrey Goldberg cracked jokes about Rep. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) comment about Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought wanting to shut down the government “since puberty,” he turned to his Atlantic colleague Ashley Parker and asked “Who is Russ Vought? What does he want?” "Cruelty" was the answer.
