      1. It's easy enough to say that Remnick messed up here. What's more interesting is why he messed up. To push Clyde Haberman's point a bit further I think its precisely because Remnick is a great journalist that he misjudged handling of this.https://twitter.com/ClydeHaberman/status/1036763538042306565 …

      For what it's worth, I think it was a mistake for David Remnick to invite Bannon to the @NewYorker festival, and maybe a bigger mistake to uninvite him. But make no mistake on this: David Remnick is a brilliant journalist, one of our greatest.

      2. Like any long running publication, the New Yorker has various archeological layers of identity. At bottom there is Harold Ross's topical urbanite tip-sheet. Then Shawn's more contemplative & leisurely literary journal.

      3. After the brief Gottlieb interregnum there was Tina Brown's buzz-seeking celebrity rag. Remnick's innovation as editor has been to return magazine to it's topical roots, an outgrowth of his own background as a newspaper reporter.

      4. The thing is about Remnick is at core he's a newspaper reporter of an old fashioned kind, a newshound, a scoop-sniffer. His biggest hits as editor have been newsy scoops (Hersh on Iraq torture, Farrow on Weinstein).

      5. Under Remnick, even New Yorker fiction has become more journalistic and topical, as @michellelegro notedhttps://twitter.com/michellelegro/status/1032678556357353472 …

      6. Now you give an old newshound like Remnick a chance to interview a former White House advisor and he's going to jump on it. A chance to really dig his teeth into the news.

          7. The mistake Remnick made is that the New Yorker Festival of Deep Thought (or whatever it's called) is not a place for journalism. It's a place for high-end consumption, a cash cow where the magazine trades off its brand to rich audience.

          8. At the New Yorker Feast of Intellectuality, the paying customers are given a vicarious taste of the magazine by meeting writers of magazine & people of the sort the magazine celebrates.

          9. This gets at the crucial issue. If you headline Bannon at the New Yorker Festival of Ideas, you're giving the magazine's imprimatur to Bannon, almost like inviting him to be a writer (as opposed to the subject of a profile) https://twitter.com/SuzanneNossel/status/1036775347180711936 …

          10. Anyways, I think Remnick messed up but he shouldn't be defined by this. For a good appreciation of Remnick's tenure as editor, go to @jelani9's TL

          But Steve Bannon isn't the news anymore. He's no more relevant than Milo.

          The optics are so bad as to make that argument moot. Bannon should be shamed back into the greasy goo he came from.

          You don't think part of this was vanity? Remnick believed that he's smarter than Bannon, he could beat him in a debate and get Bannon to admit he's wrong, or at least discredit Bannon in the eyes of his followers? Like in every courtroom movie ever?

          you say "old newhound" "old fashioned"reporter and the old part really shows, not in reporting skills, which defenders praise, but in the cluelessness of it all: giving a prized spotlight to someone who wants POC out of the USA. ANYONE who's been awake could have predicted this.

          meaning, for all his reporting acumen, Mr. Remnick doesn't seem like someone who has been awake. Bannon wins either way, getting exposure and alt-cred that "the establishment is against hime." The New Yorker is humiliated and loses, and it was all totally predictable.

          You're being charitable. The festival is not a new entity, and no one expects breaking news from an event like this. Selling tickets to an event divorced from the mag's storied fact-checking process doesn't square with the newshound instincts he (and you) are claiming.

          Another story is the power of elite-level pitches within the media, despite the subject; Bannon is clearly on some publicity tour and whoever's pitching him around managed to demonstrate that TNY is as buzz-hungry as anyone else despite the veneer of intellect and decorum.
