This Week's Pulse

The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg and his staff have faced increasing pressure from the federal government, including reports of a leak investigation into their reporting on Kash Patel. On The Bulwark Podcast, Tim Miller noted, "The FBI is now investigating the journalist of The Atlantic that wrote that story as part of a broader leak investigation."

Despite the legal scrutiny, the magazine continues to drive the policy narrative. In a recent analysis regarding Iran, Jon Favreau highlighted a piece by Robert Kagan on Pod Save America, noting the author argues "Trump's fuck up in Iran will be more consequential than all of them."

Observers in the media space remain firm in their support of the outlet's investigative standards. Tim Miller defended the publication against potential state intimidation, stating, "I trust these reporters a lot at The Atlantic, and they're very, you know, they're good at what they do, and they, they, they're not the types of people to make unfounded accusations." Meanwhile, Kara Swisher on On with Kara Swisher categorized the publication as one of the few "successful" magazines holding its own in the current media landscape.
