Jeffrey Goldberg claims today that when Sarah Palin said of Palestine, "We have to protect those who do seek democracy and support those who seek protections for the people who live there," Palin meant that the United States should support...

And a fab new design to go with the new issue of the magazine. This will be the last post before the new design goes up. Refresh your cache if the page seems old. For the record, I hate redesigns, as we all do. But this redesign is one of the coolest you'll see: a return to the style of the 1950s with a very 21st Century edge. The new issue also has a stunner of a piece by Hanna Rosin, Jeffrey...

Prior to and following the vice-presidential debates, conservatives on Fox News purported that the “mainstream media” has a preference for an Obama presidency. Bill Kristol, Kirsten Powers, and Jeffrey Goldberg all agreed in the “obvious fact” of the “transparent agenda” of liberal media bias. Watch it: These claims fly in the face of reality. The multinational [...]

Jeffrey Goldberg wants a press conference. So do I. It should be the most basic requirement of a candidate. So why will they not allow it?

While Jeffrey Goldberg is admittedly correct to call Palin out for essentially endorsing Hamas, I think his analysis is a bit too smug. Palin was asked "What happens if the goal of democracy doesn't produce the desired outcome? In Gaza, the U.S. pushed hard for elections and Hamas won." It's a fair question that gets to the heart of our commitment to democracy over specific outcomes,...

Sarah Palin on Palestine IT IS growing disturbingly clear that if Sam Cooke had sung about Sarah Palin, that song would have lasted twelve days. Jeffrey Goldberg flags the purest example I've ever seen of the talking point in action. Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin, "What happens if the goal of democracy doesn't produce the desired outcome? In Gaza, the US pushed hard for elections and...

Jeffrey Goldberg writes that he's watched Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric three times and his "astonishment does not diminish." He goes on: Her nonsensical answer about Russia has deservedly been highlighted, but let me focus on another question, this one concerning the export of democracy. Couric asked, "What happens if the goal of democracy doesn't produce the desired outcome?...

My colleague, Jeffrey Goldberg, a reality-based fan of McCain, draws the line: The issue here is not that Palin didn't know the answer. There are many possible answers to this question, some of which are right and some of which...

... I singled out her delusional-sounding rant about “if Putin rears his head” over Alaska....but Jeffrey Goldberg pointed to something arguably more awful: her clueless answer to a Couric question about what happens when democracy doesn’t yield results the U.S. likes, as in the case of Hamas in Gaza. Here’s what she said:“Yeah, well especially in that region, though, we have to protect...
