Liberal media symbiosis in action: Jeffrey Goldberg. editor-and-chief of The Atlantic and host of the PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic, appeared as a guest on Wednesday’s PBS News Hour program to discuss his own anonymously sourced Atlantic hit piece, “Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had,’” serving up allegations about the former president on how he admired the way Adolf Hitler could rely on his generals, plus an even less-plausible story about the former president refusing to pay for the funeral of “an effing Mexican” soldier.
News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett segued from the evening’s lead campaign story, much of which was devoted to a New York Times audio interview of Gen. John Kelly, former Trump White House chief of staff and current liberal media military hero of the day. Kelly compared Trump to a fascist based on comments the former president made about Hitler that no one else apparently heard -- alleged statements made during a presidency now four years past.
