"The New Yorker drew together some of its highest-end chroniclers of the American zeitgeist, who then reveled proudly in their own attachments to in-group biases and cliches. They celebrated a kind of communion with their suffering readership, who found comfort in the certainties these writers gave them. This communion is grounded in ignorance."

Terrific article, beautifully written:

Perhaps the higher levels of the American media complex, masquerading in the clothing of a different century, should embrace their essentially patrician urges and accept their permanent bafflement at the inscrutable, inexplicable passions of the American polity, thus exempting themselves from any deep concern about what the rest of us are up to.

Used to peruse copies of this pretentious rag in my high school library for the James Thurber and Charles Addams cartoons. Never had reason to after their passing.

It is my great hope that the cultural intelligentsia remain firmly ensconced with their heads up their asses.

It's generous for the writer to call it "The New Yorker's Cavalcade of Ignorance" when it's "The New Yorker's Cavalcade of Deception".

The owners of 'The New Yorker' know exactly what they're getting paid to do.
