Holy shit what a total scum bag. Imagine the twisted mindset it takes to invent such dubious bullshit. He should be tarred and featured for all the see.
I was just reminded of a movie I've seen that was so over-the-top racist against Chinese people, it was hilarious. I can't remember the name of it, but it was a John Wayne movie set in Hawaii.
It’s from the sequel. And while Sonny and Tessio died in the first movie, the second movie ends with a flashback to the family dinner that happened just after Michael enlisted, even before the start of the first movie. Indeed, it’s this scene that provides the lines that Goldberg and/or his sources “allegedly” cribbed.
quick fact check: around the middle of this bizarre ending scene, the head of the table off-handedly says that only a "sad sap" would die for their country. it was used as foreshadowing to mikey admitting that he'd enlisted in the marines- causing an implied rift between him and the other cosa nostra bros—maybe even his own dad. at no point were war dead called "losers," but it was overtly stated that they should rather die for the family business- for "blood-" than while serving in the armed forces. this is a very strange take
thank you for coming to my ted talk. check for yourself:
fair enough, but then "lifted" isn't the right word. "loosely borrowed" or "was conceivably inspired by" fit much better, and they're even digestable for people somewhere in the middle
Wait that was how that story ended? it must have gotten memory holed so quickly I wasn't able to follow back a couple month ago, can you help with a link?
Thank you for the link, wow, she is absolutely unhinged, even Cooper is trying to stop her and go to a commercial break. They were probably about 5 seconds away from a hard cut in the broadcast room lol. Another story that doesn't stand up when you talk to the witless witness.
Someone posted Goldberg said on Facebook that maybe those quotes, allegedly from Trump. weren't actually spoken. Oh, so now the FAKE NEWS purveyors can read minds. Seems like they would be more successful as Mediums than "journalists", if they can quote people's thoughts.
"Sources familiar with the president's thinking" is a dried out used up meme at this point, so fake news has been reading minds for as long as Trump has been a political figure.
Here's a threader link to how often Goldberg uses the Godfather. The man is obsessed and seems to write stories to fit into his Godfather narrative, not the other way around.
"But according to sources with knowledge of this visit, Trump, while standing by Robert Kelly’s grave, turned directly to his father and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” Kelly (who declined to comment for this story)"
Also, bringing troops home means he doesnt want them dying in pointless wars. Troops being killed "for freedon" isnt the same as troops being killed "to protect a shithole of people who hate us."
This alleged statement is so ambiguous without context it is a wonder that they... wait... scratch that. It's EXACTLY why they would use it.
Quoting a gangster/organized crime family? Well they are the heroes of the Left/DNC. They laugh and make fun of working people with honor, doing the jobs that they would never do, for a paycheck that is appropriate to their efforts.
Leftists are always looking for a scam or angle, to get exorbitant for nearly zero effort. (See CNN "journalists" and $250,000 a year PLUS full benefits Bureaucrats and lobbyists in D.C. and Northern Virginia)
Thats pretty interesting, but I have to disagree with your assessment of the film, Session 9 is a pretty legit under the radar horror movie. It has some really creepy moments and has more to say than your run of the mill “teens running from murderer” horror movie.
That sentiment seems pretty close to the fake quote attributed to Trump. A responsible outlet would say "hey we're not going to run something like this unless we can verify the source". But that was like 30 years ago when there was still integrity in media and politics, when plagerism was serious enough to cause someone to quit the race.
Well, here is a thought, say you work at this rag, are told to come up with this bogus story, don't want to, but don't want to lose your job. What to do? Possibly come up with a line from a film that you figure will be found out and be totally discredited?
Could happen...or not
If this were true you'd see a word for word comparison. The 'inspired by' is fucking tenuous at best. It's hardly a unique or long quote such that you could say anything definitive.
IMPORTANT: THIS GUY IS A BIG MOVIE BUFF AND HAS PREVIOUSLY PROFESSED HIS LOVE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE GODFATHER PART II AND HAS USED LINES FROM IT TO CRITIQUE PRESIDENTS IN THE PAST

Gotta love how these “reporters” (ie. enemies of the people) have so little imagination when making up quotes that they’ll resort to pulling lines out of a movie.
HAHAHAHAHATHIS IS MODERN DAY """JOURNALISM""" https://twitter.com/SeekerOTL/status/1303062174454165505
Holy shit what a total scum bag. Imagine the twisted mindset it takes to invent such dubious bullshit. He should be tarred and featured for all the see.
It's insanity. They live in an alternate universe.
One where they can lie, cheat and loot with impunity.
He didn't even invent it he plagiarized it !
oy vey
Stop noticing
But he didn't even have the mental capacity to invent it, he modified the dialog from one of the most famous drama movies of all time.
But really, who watches all the way to the end of Godfather II? That's why the story had legs for a weekend.
People always forget the running out of town on a rail. Quite embarrassing.
Lol, this Jeffrey Goldberg is such a stereotype.
shut it down
Oy gevalt
I would imagine there's some overt antisemitism coming from characters from a 70's mafia movie.
The characters in the Godfather were based on real people. One would think Goldberg would understand that.
As a writer of historical fiction, he should be familiar
Nice
Weren't they in a mob war with the Jewish mafia, run by whoever Lee Strasberg played? (Only saw it once.)
I was just reminded of a movie I've seen that was so over-the-top racist against Chinese people, it was hilarious. I can't remember the name of it, but it was a John Wayne movie set in Hawaii.
Yeah, of course. Mafia people are probably racist as shit, and should be depicted realistically.
I’ll bet he even has a fucked relationship with his mom
I've never met a grateful far leftist
And making most of it up as he goes along; stammering, looking away.

I think the word you are looking for is “inspired”
The word you are looking for is “libel”.
That's a weird way of spelling "sedition".
Ah, yes, it is treason, then.
Check out the writing course at Washington & Lee
https://my.wlu.edu/writing-program/writ-100-courses
correct, and the number of times this guy mentions the godfather is insane. He even did it in a live interview
You're missing the point bud.
It's not a quote. Shouldn't be labeled as such. "Inspired by"? Ok. Quote, no.
Pretty much word for word.
It’s literally not.
Source: I’ve watched the first two Godfather films more than I would like to admit.
Eh... Close but not really.
Pretty much word for word.
Not even fucking close. Why are you making shit up? Look at the quotes next to each other. Not even close.
Just like that alleged female who claimed PDJT assaulted her in a store when that was actually an episode from "Law & Order. "
Rape is sexy. Because of the fantasies. You're fascinating to talk to.
Let's cut to break... And never hear from her again ha
Wait that was how that story ended? it must have gotten memory holed so quickly I wasn't able to follow back a couple month ago, can you help with a link?

Alleged female for sure. She is as sexy as a water buffalo

Anyone have a cap of this? I don’t use Failbook
I saw this as well, but as a non-FaceSpace user I'm hoping someone here can confirm it.
Medium is right. Corporate Journalism is not rare and is never well done.
"Sources familiar with the president's thinking" is a dried out used up meme at this point, so fake news has been reading minds for as long as Trump has been a political figure.
Oh because Pres Trump called Cuomo Fredo, Goldy decided to take some lines from the Godfather?
Here's a threader link to how often Goldberg uses the Godfather. The man is obsessed and seems to write stories to fit into his Godfather narrative, not the other way around.
The Left has no imagination. They are supposedly the creative types, but that is yet another lie.
Great catch!!
Sorry, can someone provide the quote the reporter attributed to Trump?
"But according to sources with knowledge of this visit, Trump, while standing by Robert Kelly’s grave, turned directly to his father and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” Kelly (who declined to comment for this story)"
Whole story:https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/
Not a line for line quote or even close, but the sentiment matches and fits with the author's Godfather obessions which is well established.
"I don’t get it. What was in it for them?" That statement isn't even an insult, It can be an expression of wonder about their sacrifice.
Also, bringing troops home means he doesnt want them dying in pointless wars. Troops being killed "for freedon" isnt the same as troops being killed "to protect a shithole of people who hate us."
This alleged statement is so ambiguous without context it is a wonder that they... wait... scratch that. It's EXACTLY why they would use it.
Boy, they are so lame they even had to plagiarize this?
It’s similar but it’s not the same.
Pretty much word for word dope.
The word sap is used instead of sucker.
Quoting a gangster/organized crime family? Well they are the heroes of the Left/DNC. They laugh and make fun of working people with honor, doing the jobs that they would never do, for a paycheck that is appropriate to their efforts.
Leftists are always looking for a scam or angle, to get exorbitant for nearly zero effort. (See CNN "journalists" and $250,000 a year PLUS full benefits Bureaucrats and lobbyists in D.C. and Northern Virginia)
"What do you do in D.C.?"
Collect a fat paycheck... for existing.

I dont get the Patricia link. Her mom is or isnt named Patricia?
I wonder if the White House staffers have contests to see what dumb things they can get the media to run with.

They "quoted" Sarah Palin from a SNL skit, so this is par for the course for the left.
Um hello, cultural appropriation, not an exact quote, but as an Italian American I'm totally offended. /s
Well, Joe Biden is known for plagiarism, guess they whole crew is getting involved.
Is Abe Vigoda still alive?
N9. He passed in 2016.
Its true, they can't differentiate movies from real life. Time to up those meds!
They couldn't even pick an obscure movie, they chose one everyone and their mother knows? 🤣
Their world is fiction lol
So far, the left will consider:
Anytime a female activist/politician does something = Star Wars/Harry Potter/Wonder Woman
Anytime a politician on the right does something, especially as a family = Godfather
Anytime a military action they did not approve = Lord of the Rings, but careful about that casual anti-orc racism!
Anytime some protest/riot/revolution they approve = Les Mis
Rules for thee, not for me = Animal Farm only up to the point where the animal take over, didn't read the rest.
That sentiment seems pretty close to the fake quote attributed to Trump. A responsible outlet would say "hey we're not going to run something like this unless we can verify the source". But that was like 30 years ago when there was still integrity in media and politics, when plagerism was serious enough to cause someone to quit the race.
All of this became acceptable with Woodward and Bernstein's Deep Throat unnamed source. Since then, it's become widely used for fake news/propaganda.
It's also highly suspect as this author is obsessed with the Godfather series and many of his writings reference it.
A mongolian basket weaving board and reddit refugee camp have more journalistic integrity than paid 'prodessionals'...
WE ARE THE MEDIA NOW
WHOS THAT POKÉMON?!
Well, here is a thought, say you work at this rag, are told to come up with this bogus story, don't want to, but don't want to lose your job. What to do? Possibly come up with a line from a film that you figure will be found out and be totally discredited? Could happen...or not
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Journalism is DEAD
This was a great find!
If this were true you'd see a word for word comparison. The 'inspired by' is fucking tenuous at best. It's hardly a unique or long quote such that you could say anything definitive.
There is no more PRESS its all activism.
"we're getting information from sources close to ones thinking that in fact Russia supplied Trump with a copy of Godfather 2"

Every time.
Of course
Hey Siri, stop auto-generating fake news from eavesdropping
Does anyone have an archive link to the Atlantic article?
Oh shit! Q gobfirmed!
You mean Trump "quote"
or alleged quote
Is Trump the anonymous source?
This "journalist" should be put to death. Times Square right in front of every "news" agency.
Better hope that jury would be informed about nullification should someone administer any street justice.
I will repeat in this post for those who wondered, "life imitates art." Not the other way around.
Goldberg also helped started the 2003 Iraq war.
BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump orders all troops to "execute order 66" according to anonymous sources.
Don't forget how that faggot Sonny ended up in the end: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/godfather/images/a/a5/Vlcsnap-2010-11-09-21h34m35s220.png/revision/latest?cb=20110128134200
