The media circus went wild recently after Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic claimed he was unintentionally included in a chat with top officials from the Trump administration regarding a military operation. The leftist narrative spun by Goldberg suggested that National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and other senior figures were hatching plans for a strike on Yemen while inadvertently letting a journalist into their digital war room. Sounds like the plot of a poorly written spy novel, doesn’t it?
CNN stepped in to stir the pot further. Scott Jennings shot down the smoke and mirrors surrounding Goldberg’s assertions, highlighting the fact that officials had already admitted the chat was a mistake. Jennings pointed out that even if there were discussions about a military operation, officials were well aware of the necessary security protocols involved in such sensitive communications. Apparently, chatting about classified military operations on a platform that’s known for being a secure messaging app is not exactly breaking new ground in terms of intelligence breaches.

Now, one can’t overlook the convenient detail that Goldberg mistakenly got added to this chat. Jennings raised the important question of whether this could have been a setup, especially since it was Joe Biden who championed Signal for government communications — a seemingly perfect setup for a potential leak. In true leftist fashion, the possibility that this was all a staged attack against Trump was swiftly dismissed, with Goldberg attempting to paint the chat as an ominous source of “war plans.” Jennings called out the exaggeration, reinforcing the idea that once again, the left is aiming to manufacture crises where none exist.
Goldberg’s tarnished reputation in the realm of journalism should raise a few eyebrows. Just ask the folks who remember his infamous article about Trump allegedly calling American war dead “losers.” This was quickly debunked, showcasing Goldberg’s habit of launching fictitious attacks on the Trump presidency. His list of errors includes another catastrophic hit piece suggesting that Trump had a meltdown over funeral expenses for a fallen soldier, a claim that was flat-out fabricated. In light of this, it’s hardly a surprise that the credibility of Goldberg and The Atlantic is being questioned once again.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media continues to ignore the more salient facts about the Trump administration’s actions, instead opting to focus on manufactured scandals that reveal more about their biases than any actual wrongdoing. While legacy outlets cling to their stories of process and procedure, real news consumers know the importance of differentiating between the headlines meant for sensationalism and the actual achievements of the past administration. Rather than buy into the narrative of chaos and controversy, the American people are left to wonder whether it’s even worth engaging with the constant stream of left-leaning hit pieces.
