Once renowned for fact checking and quality, now a cheap partisan low-quality mock-worthy rag.

Examples
Here are a few examples of their mistakes:
- New Yorker attacks AG Barr - The Democrats (and their medias) attack on Barr for exposing the Russian Hoax and fear that he we expose the left to the disinfectant of sunlight. So they attack the source, because they have nothing else. It's anti-American, anti-Justice and chickenshit but nothing scares the left like an Attorney General willing to do his job and speak truth to power.
- New Yorker messes up Jeffrey Toobin correction - New Yorker first radically misrepresents the issue at stake in the Supreme Court Hobby Lobby case. When publicly corrected, they make a correction, and then misspells and mis-names the Solicitor General of the U.S. And they quoted Toobin's mischaracterization of what the religious freedom law was.
- New Yorker on Soleimani - The New Yorker accidentally did Journalism and reported on who Soleimani was, and why he was an important military target. Of course that was back in 2013, long before Trump did what Obama wouldn't, and took him off the board. And I'm sure they regret penning it, as now the leftist narrative is that Soleimani was a saint, and Trump was evil for killing a killer.
- New Yorker/Powerline Fact-Check - New Yorker claimed the Koch brothers were behind the Center for American Freedom, that they had preemptively denied it, and their Americans for Prosperity was going to spend some $200 million in the 2012 Presidential campaign. All were false, and they were resistant to correction, claiming they were just plagiarizing Politico or ThinkProgress so the problem was with them.
Writer quits New Yorker over fabricated Dylan quotes[edit | edit source]
Globe and Mail / 2012... Jonah Lehrer makes up Bob Dylan quotes. [This was on the website, not the printed version.]
Leftist claims New Yorker dismally wrong about Chavez[edit | edit source]
... “I imagine that Remnick’s reference to “one of the magazine’s best fact checkers” is accurate if you read it in terms of . . . “one of the healthiest entrees from Macdonald’s”.
Not Here At The New Yorker[edit | edit source]
Brills Content / 1999... fake employees at the New Yorker: on a fictional character named "Owen Ketherry" that used to answer reader's letters. “Asked if he thought it appropriate that The New Yorker lies whenever it sends a written response to readers, editor David Remnick says, "I don't think it's a lie; it's an institutional rubric." Calling the Owen Ketherry tradition "harmless," he continues, "the key thing here is that letters are answered institutionally.””
A Bridge to Nowhere[edit | edit source]
A review of The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama, by David Remnick (Knopf, 672 pp., $29.95)... “Remnick is constitutionally unable to come to grips with Obama’s parochialism, since he shares its assumptions. There is, however, an interesting book to be written about Obama, using a bridge as a metaphor. It would describe Obama as the bridge between the liberal paternalism of Hyde Park, the University of Chicago neighborhood where he lived, and the Third World–like poverty of the black neighborhoods that surround it. It would be the story of how Black Power, which supposedly rejected liberal paternalism, came to live comfortably with it even as neighborhoods like the South Side of Chicago were left to suffer from its illusions.”
Black Like Me[edit | edit source]
A review of The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama... “At root, though, Remnick is without a drop of cynicism as to why Obama, as both a youth and a middle-aged man, might consider a confident blackness of a politicized kind to be something worthy of aspiring to. The struggle for racial equality appears in these pages as a moral lodestar, the only real litmus test of contemporary political morality. Mastering the history and rhetoric of civil rights, reading the rest of American history through it, rendering one's personality acceptable to those who speak in its name—to Remnick, all of this is so self-evidently admirable as to need no explanation.
Artful Shape Shifting[edit | edit source]
David Remnick believes in Barack Obama... “Remnick’s anxiety (and not necessarily Obama’s) reflects a growing anxiety among liberals that the civil rights movement in which they’d invested so much energy and emotional capital has stalled short of the promised land, with the black leaders who attempted to cross that bridge in Selma, Alabama, in 1965, celebrated by Obama and giving this book its title, having been succeeded in large part by hucksters, hustlers, and con men.”
Goodbye to 'The New Yorker'[edit | edit source]
Under the editorship of David Remnick, politics has come to the fore of the magazine.
