From 1998–2009, he was director of policy at the Israel Policy Forum (IPF). He also published a popular blog on Talking Points Memo’s TPMCafé. According to Nick Bunzl, IPF executive director at the time of his departure, Rosenberg was one of their most widely read columnists and bloggers, and that his signature provocative style pushed the conversation in much needed directions.The Forward Nathan Guttman.

During 2009–2012, Rosenberg worked for Media Matters for America. He left the position after a confrontation with Alan Dershowitz, who objected to Rosenberg's use of the term "Israel Firster." Dershowitz threatened to embarrass MMFA if Rosenberg remained at the organization.{{cite news |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mj-rosenberg/the-israel-firster-brouha_1_b_1409931.html |title=The Israel Firster Brouhaha & Why I Left Media Matters |work=The Huffington Post}}
