I love this explainer on TNRmageddon and especially this note: http://www.vox.com/2016/1/12/10756786/tnr-meltdown-tnrmageddon http://www.vox.com/2016/1/12/10756786/tnr-meltdown-tnrmagedd... "A note on conflicts of interest The world of Washington, DC-based magazines and websites is incredibly incestuous, so I have no way of writing about this without stepping all over too many conflicts of interest to count. But some noteworthy ones include the fact that I applied for a job with the Peter Beinart–era TNR and didn't get it after a disastrous job interview. I was recruited for jobs in both the first and second Foer eras. I used to work closely with Richard Just (who was editor between Foer stints) before he worked at TNR. I dated a TNR staffer for a while, was roommates with Spencer Ackerman at the time Foer fired him from TNR, and am very close friends with a current staffer at TNR. I also lived in the same dorm with Hughes for a year in college. All of which is to say that while my coverage of this can hardly be objective, it's also pretty well-informed."
