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 …

Wonderful thread. Thank you. (Love Remnick in his written form. He could easily analyze & repudiate Bannon & his philosophies within a written forum, with outside expert opinion chiming in. Leaving no room for Bannon to gaslight & wink.)

BUT Bannon & his ilk are behind what has happened to the US. WOMEN TECHS have been dealing with Bannon-types since we DARED enter the technical arena in the 90’s. Who disclosed what CamAn was doing? A woman! I’m so insulted by this choice by the NYR. Clueless male journalist.

The same can be said about The Atlantic and the Aspen Ideas Festival, by the way. But The Atlantic is more influence-seeking among the people who matter in the Beltway and artistically quite philistine. The New Yorker in comparison cultivates an audience of wealth and Good Taste.

The Atlantic would have hosted Bannon (it's surprising it didn't) as he was influential in the White House. It defers to power. The New Yorker's audience, political preferences aside, would likely have preferred someone from the more intellectual, upper-class end of the Alt-Right

well put. I've long seen Remnick as infallible. He's human after all! Doesn't kill my admiration for him.

In Canada "anyways" is acceptable idiom.
