Any backup evidence or material to support your claim that the newyorker has low journalistic/editorial standards?

  how do you provide evidence driven by personal disgust about writing style? Especially when that style of writing is only journalism which is the lowest form of writing. Vox, Slate, Salon, New Yorker pretty much all the same, ... except a major difference (that makes it even more annoying). With the former I generally expect utter trash and am not surprised when it is trash, but the latter is trash dressed up in fancy pseudo-intellectualism. reading Taleb's Black Swan might help also understand some peoples distaste for it: https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/877259529196642306 https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/877259529196642306

    I've read Black Swan but I genuinely have no idea how it's related to this discussion. Could you elaborate?

      Pretty sure he went through and downvoted all my recent comments. I'm guessing there's not much chance he's willing to suffer challenges to his viewpoint.
