The Atlantic hires David Brooks as a staff writer
New home for his writing, and to launch a video podcast
The Atlantic is announcing that David Brooks, who for years has contributed memorable Atlantic cover stories and essays on political and societal issues, is joining the magazine as a staff writer beginning next month. The Atlantic will be the home for all of David’s writing, and he will also host a new weekly video podcast that will launch later this spring. David worked as an opinion columnist at The New York Times for 22 years.
In a note to staff, The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, writes: “David’s work––his columns, his stories for us, and his many books––have made him known and acclaimed around the world. He is, among other things, America’s best pop sociologist, someone with a reporter’s curiosity and a writer’s grace. He is an unparalleled diagnostician of the faults and weaknesses of governments, institutions, and social structures, as our readers know from such stories as...
Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.
I, for one, cannot wait for the avalanche of saccharine legacy media encomiums.
It's rumored that David Broder himself will rise from the grave to give a toast at Brook's farewell gala.
Then there's this:
Never doubt that there is a Club kids.
And never doubt that none of us will ever be members.

Well, bye.
Now Bluegal can start calling it The Fucking Atlantic.
I can't wait to read the comments for DFB's new video podcast.
"America’s best pop sociologist" Is this from some kind of Dick Clark Production ?
So now he’ll be able to rehash his drivel from the last 20 years to a new audience.
the High Broderisms shall rise again to taunt us.
Question: Will Brooks' comments section for the Atlantic online and his soon to be cure for insomnia podcast be blocked like he's been priveleged to have at PBS?
Great news. Now with Broooks unrestrained by NYT we can hear some good old fashioned Brooks thought wonders revisited in reruns to go along with Gilligan's Island.
I have hopes that he will be untethered that he can give us his astute uncanny mind to Brooks-splain how a republican named Justin Eichorn who credits himself with the phrase, "Trump Derangement syndrome". Can end up getting arrested for pedophilia.
But people like me are the deranged. Mot him.
Well, SHOOT! I've managed to ignore Brooks for years by not subscribing to the NYT. I do subscribe to The Atlantic, so now I have to actively dodge his self-congratulatory, both sides articles.
Today-January 30, I canceled my Atlantic subscription.
So is there a mid-6 figure opening at the Times for someone to put their name on 800 words of brainfarts and platitudes twice per week? I'm available.
re atlantic: i wonder why?
they could just take any of his columns, just one, and reprint it..they're all the same. in his addled single malt pickled brain he just replicates the same whines...over and over.
You think Jeffrey Goldberg's comments about DFB bring the funny? Check out THIS hilarity from the mustache who never gets it right (and never admits [and never will] that he never gets it right):
Fellow Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman said, “I am so sorry to hear this news. I cannot imagine reading The Times and not being able to savor one of David’s deep essays on politics, society and human connection. David and I have had a running joke all these years that we almost always end up in the same place politically, but we get there by totally different routes. We arrive at the same conclusion that our future depends on building and proliferating communities built on healthy interdependencies cemented by shared values. This news really leaves me bummed.”
Comedy gold, Jerry! Comedy gold.
