The Atlantic is a liberal magazine. In September 2024 Current Affairs reported that The Atlantic is "The Worst Magazine In America":

The Atlantic poses as a magazine of ideas, but its writers get away with terrible arguments. Its ascendance is a sign of the dire state of American intellectual life.[1]

In 2018, the magazine fired moderate-conservative commentator Kevin Williamson right after being hired because it was revealed that he held pro-life views.[2] In 2019, the magazine called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.[3] In the debate over internet censorship, The Atlantic has sided with the totalitarian fascist regime of China.[4]

When asked, "Is The Atlantic magazine affiliated—formally or informally—with NATO or the military-industrial complex?", ChatGPT responded as follows:

The Atlantic magazine is not formally or informally affiliated with NATO or the military-industrial complex. It is a private publication on journalism, covering a wide range of topics, including politics, culture, and international affairs. While it may publish articles on NATO or defense-related issues, this reflects editorial independence rather than institutional ties.

On January 7, 2024 The Atlantic published an article titled "Trump Is Facing a Catastrophic Defeat in Ukraine."[5] The subtitle read: If Ukraine falls, it will be hard to spin as anything but a debacle for the United States, and for its president. Here's a summary:

The article discusses the challenges facing Donald Trump as he prepares to take office amidst the ongoing Ukraine war. Trump has pledged to end the conflict quickly but faces skepticism about his ability to achieve this. His sympathetic stance toward Russia's opposition to Ukraine joining NATO raises concerns about potential concessions. Meanwhile, Russia, under Vladimir Putin, remains focused on subjugating Ukraine, demanding territorial concessions and neutrality, which Kiev rejects. The article highlights the risks of a peace deal favoring Russia, as it could embolden further aggression. Ukraine's allies stress continued support to counter Putin's ambitions.

The article is authored by Robert Kagan, who happens to be married to Victoria Nuland, the "regime change Cookie Monster". Adding to the connection, Robert's younger brother, Frederick Kagan, is married to Kimberly Kagan (née Kessler), the founder and head of the neoconservative Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Here is ChatGPT’s response regarding the funding of ISW:

ISW receives core funding from U.S. military contractors, including major defense companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. This funding structure aligns ISW with entities that benefit from U.S. military spending and operations, though ISW maintains it sets its own research agenda.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz claimed that he's "never met, don't know, never communicated with" Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the anti-Trump deep state rag The Atlantic. However Waltz was photographed standing with Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C.. The event was moderated by Goldberg.[6]
