Bannon`s War RoomAug 17, 2026
Sources show Jeff Stein left The Washington Post in 2026 and joined the nonprofit newsroom NOTUS, which he was set to start in June, so he was there by the claim date of 2026-08-17. The passage says "Notice," which appears to be a mishearing of NOTUS; the sources do not use that name, but the newsroom described matches.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… Thank you, man. Appreciate you. Keep grinding. Wow, unbelievable. Jeff Stein, we've had you on. You're one of the my go-to guys about debt, deficits, the the financial catastrophe that awaits us. Over at The Washington Post, you're now at Notice. Explain to the audience real quickly: What is Notice, and why did Jeff Stein, such a a prominent writer at one of the most powerful institutions in Washington, why did you shift over? You're giving me too much credit. …
Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. NOTUS hired Jeff Stein from The Washington Post to cover economic policy, where he had been the Post's chief economics correspondent, and the report describes him as a former Post reporter.[2]
Supports. Stein's own LinkedIn post announced his last week at The Washington Post and said he would join NOTUS's newsroom starting in June, describing a rebranded and expanded name and mission.[3]
Supports. Stein's departure from the Post is also reported by Mediaite, which quotes his announcement that he was leaving the paper.[4]
Supports. A May 2026 Ithaca Voice interview says Stein "recently left" The Washington Post after more than eight years there, consistent with his move to a new outlet.[5]
Context. The name in the passage is "Notice," while the sources name the outlet NOTUS ("News of the United States"). The passage's own description of a new nonprofit newsroom with independent, nonpartisan journalists matches NOTUS, so the mismatch looks like a transcription error rather than a different organization.[2][3]
Context. The 2020 AP and Washington Post announcements confirm Stein's earlier Post career but do not address his current employer.[1][6]
