Isn't the New Yorker satirical? One of their headlines is "Scalia Arrested for trying to Burn Down Supreme Court"...
- lfowles 11y agoNote the URL for that headline: http://www.newyorker.com/***humor***/borowitz-report/scalia-arrested-trying-to-burn-down-supreme-court?intcid=mod-most-popular http://www.newyorker.com/***humor***/borowitz-report/scalia-... Although it is saying something that the top 3 most popular stories are from the humor section.

- boken 11y agoIt does feature satirical articles and columns, including the Borowitz Report, of which that Scalia article is one installment. (One of its most famous regulars was James Thurber, creator of Walter Mitty and a rare kind of humorist, still widely read decades after his death.) But it is not a satirical magazine cover-to-cover. It's particularly well-known for its short fiction and criticism.
