It's hard to take The New Yorker seriously in any capacity. I find it's just long, pointless essays that don't communicate any new information or original thought, but are designed to make someone who already has the same opinion as the author feel good about themselves. Opinions which are never explicitly made clear. It's class entertainment sold as news. It make a certain societal class feel higher class than they actually are.
