New Yorker Editor David Remnick: “Every fact found in my article is checked and confirmed”

Ha’aretz features a lengthy interview with New Yorker Editor David Remnick today, who notes that Israel is a leading interest of his. He also discusses at length the magazine’s supposedly strong fact-checking process. Ha’aretz writer Orna Coussin reports:

Remnick says that the trademark attribute of The New Yorker is the insistence on accuracy.

That’s funny. In the past, when it has come to Remnick’s particular area of interest–Israel–there have been cases in which fact-checking was apparently thrown out the down. See here and here.
