Does any one else not from/or living in New York love it as much as I but wish they would be a little more objective in their editorial content?
Also have the cartoons been less funny lately?
I think 9/11 had a very deep impact on this publication--beyond the obvious.

I used to read it pretty faithfully, and have the issue that came out the day before 9/11 packed away somewhere, but long ago came to the conclusion that, for the most part, it's too pretentious and preachy for its own good anymore. It'd always been just a little too smug and one-sided, but it has gotten worse. I'm Pittsburgh, not New York, in case you're wondering.

I love the New Yorker! (and have never lived in New York). They have a very lefty bias, but I don't mind - objectivity is overrated (and perhaps impossible). I am getting a little tired of their fixation on Iraq though. Usually skip those articles. I guess someone has to say it, but it does seem the New Yorker thinks it is their mission to preach against the occupation.
You may be right about the cartoons.

Have read the "New Yorker" several times and it seems to me like they do not like anything or anyone that does not agree with what they do.
So I have stopped reading it.
I have been to New York City several times and have enjoyed it there each time. Hope to make it back when the playoffs are happening and get to see a game.
