Who has dined with him?

Huh? This is all in the public record. You can see the authors he has hired, the precedents he has established (such as endorsing a candidate), and read in major media or published speeches the accounts and comments of other editors, of Ted Kennedy, etc.

If you're going to put this stuff in, you need sources -- you can't just assert that it's "all in the public record".NawlinWiki 12:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The entire piece is awkwardly written and biased. Please consider rewrite.

I was about to say the same thing. It reads like a staffer wrote it. "He enjoys jazz music and classic movies and long walks on the beach at dusk..." Who cares? Stan weller 22:27, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Language

In Lenin's Tomb, it appears that Remnick speaks Russian fluently or at least pretty well. Is this the case? Sca (talk) 20:35, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

“ In 2004, for the first time in its 80-year history, The New Yorker endorsed a presidential candidate, John Kerry.”

Why is this one-sentence paragraph on this page? Shouldn’t it be tied, in the text, to Remnick, the subject of the article? 174.160.242.40 (talk) 18:21, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
