The New Yorker’s Sense of Humor

The recent New Yorker piece by Ryan Lizza about the development of Barack Obama’s foreign policy includes this memorable line:

Obama had always read widely, and now he was determined to get a deeper education. He read popular books on foreign affairs by Fareed Zakaria and Thomas Friedman.

The magazine’s cartoons never make me laugh, but that is hilarious.

If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry.

That is pretty deep. I think I’ve never seen cowshit piled that high before.

This site can be a walk-via for the entire data you wished about this and didn’t know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and you’ll definitely uncover it.

What’s FAIR

FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.
