I love this explainer on TNRmageddon and especially this note:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vox.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;1&#x2F;12&#x2F;10756786&#x2F;tnr-meltdown-tnrmageddon" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vox.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;1&#x2F;12&#x2F;10756786&#x2F;tnr-meltdown-tnrmagedd...</a>
&quot;A note on conflicts of interest<p>The world of Washington, DC-based magazines and websites is incredibly incestuous, so I have no way of writing about this without stepping all over too many conflicts of interest to count.<p>But some noteworthy ones include the fact that I applied for a job with the Peter Beinart–era TNR and didn&#x27;t get it after a disastrous job interview. I was recruited for jobs in both the first and second Foer eras. I used to work closely with Richard Just (who was editor between Foer stints) before he worked at TNR. I dated a TNR staffer for a while, was roommates with Spencer Ackerman at the time Foer fired him from TNR, and am very close friends with a current staffer at TNR. I also lived in the same dorm with Hughes for a year in college.<p>All of which is to say that while my coverage of this can hardly be objective, it&#x27;s also pretty well-informed.&quot;
