Actually, Tim Alberta did write an entire article this week about Vance in The Atlantic:

Then he was interviewed about his Atlantic article the other night on Amanpour & Co., where it was pointed out that Alberta was basically embedded with the Trump campaign for this entire spring. He has been traveling with them on their plane, going to all the rallies, and even sitting around with them in the evening after their meetings and strategy sessions, drinking at the bar with them and chatting them up for months. He probably has a much better insight into their thinking than the average reporter.

Thanks Anne. I stopped depending on The Atlantic for unbiased perspectives some time ago. That’s interesting. Wonder why they wouldn’t quote the article or interview.

Well, after I replied to you, I went back to the TFP article to make sure they were referring to the Tim Alberta piece (they were). Frankly, I was shocked that their only reference was his tiny little X post. Good grief, is this what TFP has become? They just skim the surface and phone it in? You may have stopped depending on The Atlantic, but I have stopped thinking that I’m getting good reporting from TFP. I’m really not sure what their problem is, but they do have one.
