Biden Megadonor Owns The Atlantic, Reportedly Communicates Often With Journalist Behind Anonymously-Sourced Trump Bombshell
By Andrew Kerr, Daily Caller, September 5, 2020:
- Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the majority owner of The Atlantic, has donated over $1.2 million to former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democratic candidates and groups since 2019, Federal Election Commission records show.
- Powell Jobs owns a 70% stake in The Atlantic, and she reportedly communicates often with its editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.
- Goldberg published an anonymously-sourced story Thursday alleging that President Donald Trump had denigrated fallen American soldiers.
The Atlantic’s majority owner has donated over $1.2 million to Democratic candidates and political committees since 2019 while reportedly keeping in close contact with the magazine’s editor-in-chief, who published an anonymously-sourced story Thursday alleging that President Donald Trump denigrated fallen American soldiers.
Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, obtained a 70% stake in The Atlantic in 2017 through her firm, the Emerson Collective. In November, she further solidified her control over the magazine after its longtime chairman, David Bradley, said he was going to step away from management, according to Politico.
Politico noted in its report that Powell Jobs communicates often with The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
Powell Jobs contributed $2,800 to former Vice President Joe Biden’s primary campaign in October, and in June she divvied out an additional $610,600 to the Biden Victory Fund. She’s also provided maxed out donations to at least 66 other Democratic politicians since the start of 2019, all the while providing nothing to Republican candidates, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Other notable Democrats that Powell Jobs has contributed to this election season include former Democratic presidential candidates Cory Booker, Tom Steyer, Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Yang and Michael Bennett, FEC records show. She also contributed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Reps. Joe Kennedy, Ayanna Pressley, Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff, the records show.
The Atlantic was the first outlet to report that Biden was running for president in April 2019. Bradley, who’s still identified as The Atlantic’s chairman in the magazine’s masthead, served as a board member of the now-defunct Biden Cancer Initiative.

Goldberg and Powell Jobs did not return requests for comment asking if Powell Jobs had any involvement in or had any advanced knowledge of Goldberg’s anonymously-sourced story. The report, published Thursday evening, alleged that Trump called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers” during a 2018 trip to France.
Democrats immediately seized upon the story, and by Friday morning, the progressive PAC VoteVets had produced an ad featuring six Gold Star families pillorying Trump for his alleged comments.
A VoteVets spokesman told Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Chuck Ross that the group had no advanced knowledge of The Atlantic’s story and that they pulled an all-nighter to get the ad up so quickly. FEC records show that Powell Jobs has never made a contribution to VoteVets.
Biden said Friday that he’s “never been as disappointed in my whole career” after reading Goldberg’s report, saying it would be “absolutely damnable” if it’s true that Trump made disparaging comments about fallen troops.
Trump and multiple high-level administration officials denied Goldberg’s report, and critics said crucial aspects of the report were flawed.
Goldberg opened the story saying that Trump had falsely claimed he canceled a visit to the venerated Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 because rain had grounded his helicopter and the Secret Service refused to drive him there. “Neither claim was true,” Goldberg wrote.
Instead, Goldberg reported that four anonymous sources told him that Trump rejected the idea of visiting the cemetery “because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead.”
However, BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold published documents Thursday evening showing that the Navy did indeed cancel Trump’s air transport to the cemetery that day due to rain.
And Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted Thursday that she was told by Trump administration officials that it would have taken three hours to drive the president to the cemetery.
The White House said in a statement at the time that Trump’s visit to the cemetery was “canceled due to scheduling and logistical difficulties caused by the weather” and that former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, whose son was killed while serving in Afghanistan, went instead.

What great reporting by Jennifer Griffin, quoting anonymous sources — who she says, Trust Me, are “unimpeachable,” — to corroborate another Leftist/Globalist organ’s anonymous sources in a meaningless, petty, partisan propaganda piece from three years ago, two months before an election.
And given the imprimatur of veracity by Charlie Gasparino, “She’s one hell of a reporter,” says you.
We’re living under an East German model propaganda regime, congratulations.
Pulitzers for everyone!

The Democrat globalist/crony/surrender party under one of the worst criminals in history — LBJ — did indeed make suckers — and much worse — out of our young American men in the Sixties.
I heard a military-family woman say on the radio that the vile Atlantic Monthly and Joe-Bamma Biten are the real traitors and criminals by putting the U.S. military in the middle of this self-serving pseudo-story without any named sources. What a disgrace our media is/are!
Burn in Hell all of you and Biten.

Absolutely – ANYONE with a SHRED of morality/ethics would have taken the time to do the fact checking before they ran with something like that.Its just freaking COMMON SENSE with something that explosive / damaging – IF – its bogus and you spout on it you will look like a COMPLETE A–HOLE..But if its true you’ve got a MAJOR advantage..Of course as per usual these days it was the FORMER –

Chris, great! I love it-
You have insight into this so maybe you can answer a question. Many of these lowlives are at least over 40. Even if you’re a lifetime atheist, as you age you want to hedge your bets. So why do none of these “disgraces” reform their lives?

How do you claim anonymous sources have any credibility? In a court of law that type of testimony would be thrown out, as it should be. The Democrats are trying to convict President Trump on hear say evidence, that cannot be corroborated. Journalism keeps lowering the bar. The Atlantic Magazine motto, if we can’t get the facts we will just make them up.

I have a cousin who believes this claptrap. She says the sources are anonymous because they are afraid of Trump. Hogwash. Can’t convince her that if this were true, the press slugs would’ve been all over this when it happened, not as “breaking news” 2 years later. SMH.

Oh, don’t feel too badly Cindy. There’s a lot of this floating around. I’d bet every person here has one like your cousin, just as they doubtless have a depraved pervert lesbo or homo too. This is the level of the “culture” today.
My brother and mother live in DC (New York City became so bad they found DC to be an improvement).
My brother owns a successful business and has totally embraced the Far Left. But he now feels betrayed because he daily fears his business will be burned to the ground. My mother in her 90s? Afraid to go to the grocery store. Even tho’ her home is in a very upscale neighborhood, and so is the grocery store.
I predict Trump by a landslide. I cannot WAIT for the debates between him and Bye Bye Biden. The latter has his picture in Gray’s Anatomy under “advanced senile dementia”.

Absolutely right. And part of our magnificence in the USA? The regular everyday citizen knows what you just posted; no need whatever to be a legal type…
Or I should say, we used to. Now our public-and many of our Catholic Schools-now teach revisionist “American History”. It’s all Common Core.
Thank you for this post William.

Does she go by the name Mrs. Powell or Mrs. Jobs? Her value comes from who she married.
