A grim reminder that in the upper echelons of journalism, white supremacists are at worst wayward tribesmates and at best very interesting men: Steve Bannon is to headline The New Yorker's October festival.From The New York Times:Stephen K. Bannon, President Trumps former chief strategist, who will be interviewed by the magazines editor, David Remnick, a frequent critic of the administration.I have every intention of asking him difficult questions and engaging in a serious and even combative conversation, Mr. Remnick said in a phone interview.More than anything else, America's elites consider themselves gracious hosts. But some of us have outstayed our welcome. Tickets go on sale Thursday.UPDATED: They disinvited him after a long day eating shit online and in person, not least from their own staff and from other celebrity invitees publicly disinviting themselves from the event.
