  • Jeffrey Goldberg, 'Washington Week' host and editor of The Atlantic, remarked it is a "bit unreal" that somebody with an alcohol problem could be ready to assume the position of Secretary of Defense.

The article from RealClearPolitics features a discussion with Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, on Fox News with Pete Hegseth. Goldberg comments on the controversy surrounding the hiring of David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, by The Atlantic. Hegseth questions the decision, citing Frum's past involvement in the Iraq War and his subsequent writings. Goldberg defends the hire by emphasizing the importance of diverse viewpoints in journalism, arguing that it's "borderline irresponsible" to assume someone with a history of controversial decisions or personal issues, like an alcohol problem, cannot change or contribute positively. He stresses the value of redemption and the capacity for individuals to evolve, suggesting that excluding such voices would limit the breadth of discourse in media.
