The Atlantic handled ‘Signalgate’ with good judgment | Margaret Sullivan

David Gergen : The Atlantic was a model of caution and good judgment on the handling of sensitive information.

He says the Atlantic 's handling of the Yemen strike was a public service.

Trump loyalists responded by trashing the Atlantic and the magazine, he says.

Gergen says it's a sign of the administration's unwillingness to accept responsibility for its own blunders.

There has been plenty of sleaziness on display in recent days but it has nothing to do with the Atlantic ’s exemplary reporting. - Margaret Sullivan is a Guardian US columnist writing on media, politics and culture.
