As far as capitalist pigs go , Donald has got nothing on the rest of them! Who was paying for hillary's campaign? And who would of been paying for his campaign if he was playing the game? First president for a long time that doesn't owe anyone(except the public)anything!

The New Yorker IS one if the most respected mastheads in journalism.

How a country capable of electing Obama descend so low?

And as far as owing people...the only person Trump has ever worried about is Trump.

Oh come on, you don't seriously think he funded his campaign all from his own wallet do you??? Do you have any idea how campaigns work???

What makes you think the public will get anything? If it's because Donald said so, are you not aware of the demonstrated fact that nothing he says is reliable?

Some of you guys just don't get it, some do!
Nationalism is the new world order, people are fed up with decisions about their future being made by foreign governments (brexit) or corporations (USA)and are voting with their feet.
Populist politics rules! (One nations resurgence)
Whether this is a good thing or not isn't something I'd be remotely qualified to judge on, it's just the way it is.

And thus they are one of the most respected mastheads in journalism.

America is going to need frank & fearless journalism now more than ever.

Sorry Dave still calling Bull**** .ITS A PAPER. the New York papers had Trump written off hence some cried in NY streets.
people that buy one-sided views believe in it.

I'm going out on a limb here.

the sun will shine tomorrow regardless what some news RAG is telling me.

It will be interesting to see whether the outspoken celebrities that threatened to move to Canada if Trump wins follow through with said threat.

The new yorker is owned by carlos slim (largest shareholder at least). www.wsj.com/articles/carlos-slim-exercises-new-york-times-warrants-1421274205

It has it's own flaws, especially in a time as divided as now.

We live in a time of noise, especially in politics (?wikileaks) which makes it increasingly difficult to find truth. Were all drinking someone's koolaid, the new yorker is not the gold standard for reporting.

Bit of confusion going on here possibly. The New Yorker is not The New York Times.

The Times is the left leaning Trump bagging daily. The New Yorker is more your literary journal.

i was referring to The New Yorker. Longform articles by journalists and writers that spend time on them. It's journalism IS respected and has been for decades. Just because someone doesn't agree with its analysis doesn't diminish its reputation built up over many many years.

Cobra, ever thought perhaps Trump doesn't deserve a fair go?

To be fair, neither candidate had the gravitas of Obama. It's a shame gun control and adequate Medicare etc is off the shelf for Americans now, as well as all the other reforms Obama commenced. "The greatest country in the world" is not one I would wish to live in, especially with Trump in charge.

This is just another example of many articles that have been coming out lately, that they all share one thing in common, total irony!
The irony being that if all these thing noted in the article are true, holy crap, then the democrats couldn't have put up a worse candidate to beat someone with these things being hung around his neck.
They would only have themselves to blame.

Oh c'mon; nobody can honestly say they enjoy reading that rambling, New Yorker style that just goes on and on and on and...
It's like you've tuned into someone that is half asleep's unedited stream of consciousness while they ponder a boring subject. They're paid by the word.

Compare to another long form like Rolling Stone that can hijack one's attention because it has some bite.

Moore is a far left socialist luny...Although he makes good points about gun control.

Personally I like that 100 day plan. You think these are mad policies? The environmental movement was hijacked by the elitists a long time ago. A perfect way eventually to tax the world for their benefit.

Must admit he does need to get a little more savvy on keeping the green, tree hugging, city dwelling, saab driving yuppies at bay.
