Whatever Happened to the new yorker?

By Nicholas Stix

The new york times recently white-mailed a liberal psychiatrist/blogger into shutting down his entire, huge, pseudonymous blog, Slate Star Codex/”Scott Alexander” under threat of doxing him and destroying his life. The new yorker then provided cover fire for the times operative. The new yorker operative also found the time to smear Steve Sailer.

post in which Alexander explored and upheld research into innate biological differences between men and women. (As it turned out, the Damore memo was written before the post, but there was a noticeable overlap between them.)

Yeah, it’s weird how often that happens when both parties are speaking the truth.

He couldn’t possibly admit that Alexander and Damore had both read the same scientific literature.
 

N.S.: From circa 1925-1970, the New Yorker was a place where you could find often exquisite short stories; brilliant essays by E.B. White (circa 1940-1970); humor by James Thurber; the Talk of the Town column; New York stories by Joseph Mitchell; and cartoons by Charles Addams, et al. that became world famous. And prior to the appearance of Tina Brown in 1992, it actually managed to turn a profit.

I don’t know when the tide turned. Thurber died in 1961; White went senile during the early 1970s.

In 1992, the late S.I. Newhouse hired serial magazine killer Tina Brown, as editor-in-chief. Brown was big on “buzz,” but was an incompetent, pc manager. Covers like the peyes-wearing Hasid kissing a black West Indian woman got “everyone” in the msm talking about the rag, and increased subscriptions, yet Brown drowned it in red ink, leaving in 1998. (Everywhere Brown went, her allies wrote glowing tributes to her, never mentioning her history of failure.)

In recent years, under Editor David Remnick, the thing simply regurgitates DNC talking points, and its affirmative action staffers celebrate black and Hispanic performers who curse in their work.

Apparently, if you belong to an AA group, your curses have a mystical meaning.

The thing by this guy, the professional-son-of-a-gay-rabbi, is a couple of thousand words too long, not to mention anti-intellectual. He must have been paid by the word.

He indicts Steve for “scientific racism,” and calls him a “monster.” The former term is part of a hoax that was popularized by communist literary fraud Stephen Jay Gould, in The Mismeasure of Man, a book that has been debunked as a hoax. (Gould’s lies cost me nine years—1990-1999—of my life.) However, said debunking had no effect on the racist Left.

I wouldn’t even assume that the professional-son-of-a-gay-rabbi has read Mismeasure. He may have been content to repeat DNC talking points, which he read in SPLC fundraising letters.

Meanwhile, this overlong “thing” was to provide cover fire for the character assassination assignment by NYT operative Cade Metz. Gay rabbi’s son even pulled up the hoary, “conspiracy theory” line.

That’s the way it’s done these days.

It’s that sprawling New Yorker s—t.
