You’re fooling yourself if you think The Atlantic does not present a united front. They might change that front from time to time when they realize they are wrong.

They were all bearish in 2025. Now they are bullish.

Just because they have different authors doesn’t mean they can’t control the narrative. They can easily choose to only publish bearish articles or videos versa.

There's noting bullish in "America isn't ready". The technical success of AI can absolutely cannibalize it's economic and political feasibility - which is the opposite of bullish.

Besides, mainstream media's modus operandi has been fixed for along time and the switch in tone is perfectly explainable, but that's not the point here.
