Stop reading the New Yorker. It is and always has been a magazine

I only care about reviews tho.

Paris and London and New Criterion are good for highbrow but sometimes I want to know what the pulitzer/National Book Award/Man Booker hopefuls are gonna be

Stop reading the media in general

It's a jewish publication, of course it's mediocre and low-brow.

Save yourself money and use The Millions for that shit. They always publish the short and long lists for those prizes.

Growing up, I had the impression that the New Yorker was some sort of high society magazine full of advanced sociopolitical insights and the like.

It's a boring cross between Time and the Huffington Post, in reality.

HuffPo writes much more informed and substantiated articles.

Don't insult anything by comparing it to Time though, not even your word enemy's political blog is that bad.

Sounds like a poverty cope but defending the NYer is not the hill I want to die on.

Richard Brody is the only good film reviewer left though.

Pretty much agree with you.

But Alex Ross is god-tier.

>implying I read anything by traditional media

They are literally just propaganda machines for neo-liberal rich people.

Define "traditional media." Is this the "I go to YT celebs for my opinions" mindset? Books are "traditional media" do you eschew those as well?

>Define "traditional media."

Large corporate media outlets that are at least 80 years old that used to print newspapers.

Brody is great. He also has a very distinct type of movie he likes which is great for reading his reviews about those movies and horrible for ones that aren't like those.
I think the thing that annoys me about Brody is that he always refers to things about the power and magic of cinema and this "higher place" that the art can achieve and mentions it in reviews like if it came short of it or reached it or something. However he never really explains what made ti come short or hit that mark in a substantial way and makes me think he actually doesn't know what he is really saying and just throwing it in there to seem ike he knows a lot

Also Anthony Lane is a cuck
