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 …

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

There’s also the extent to which the New Yorker has been borne aloft by the tide of the hashtagresistance to a greater extent than any other pub save the NYT/WaPo—without the performer objectivity that makes those problematic resistance faves. And Remnick’s leaned into that too.

You seem to be invoking some kind of Occupational Fallacy: that Remnick can be absolved of giving an expenses-paid platform to a fascist "because he thinks like a journalist." Puh-lease. This isn't Remnick's first rodeo, you know.

Or the mistake (again, very journalistic, down to the core ideological commitments of journalism) is that giving fascists a platform is harmful, even if they are newsworthy. Which is truly against the deep instincts of journalism, but also might just be true.

Well... rich and "high-brow"—many if not most of whom pervade the same cultural spaces—galleries, universities, well-regarded book-stores. Univ faculty have been drawn to the world of the New Yorker for over a century. New Yorker cartoons are a prestige symbol on a prof's door.
