Here, I've posted the full David Remnick memo about why he "re-considered" interviewing Steve Bannon at @NewYorkerLive:https://medium.com/@brianstelter/david-remnicks-memo-to-new-yorker-staffers-about-steve-bannon-74fc71910b71 …

Let's not pretend he was pulled bc the powers that be rethought their plan. He was uninvited bc at the rate they were going he would have been the only speaker.
-
Exactly. One thing to have Bannon as one of the speakers, but an all-Bannon festival would be...a bit too much.
-
I think an all Bannon festival would be referred to as some kind of, oh I don't know, rally. Like if a group, or clan, of people who liked him gathered together.

You looking for “mob” or “Klan”?
-
Maybe it's not an either/or answer.

I don't see why the media feels compelled to interview a overt racist and anarchist in the first place. He should be shunned, at the very least. Is there really a need to both sides racism? Do the readers need to understand the points on Bannon's racism?

For the record: There is absolute ZER0 reasons or need to interview steve bannon, again. We are nauseatingly aware of his *beliefs and *opinions. If you want to talk to him, david, get used on your own time.
-
Your response is perfect. This was clickbait pure and simple. And an epic fail.

What new anything does Bannon have that you need to be re-interviewing him? Fresh racism? He's only news because they made him news again.
-
Bannon has plenty of wide, unsavory platforms on which to spread his repackaged fascism. The New Yorker honor nearly bestowed would have lent an odor of disdain for our republic.

Seems a little too late …… the damage to their reputation isn't that easily redeemable.
-
So true... I'm done with them.
-
I think Remnick might be retiring this year after this. It might be time.
-
I agree. This was so horribly ill-advised. People lives are a stake, our country is at stake and he wants to play games. No more free passes.
