New Yorker Festival Announces, Then Drops, Steve Bannon As Headliner

“The announcement [disinviting Bannon] followed several scathing rebukes and high-profile dropouts after the festival’s lineup, with Mr. Bannon featured, was announced.” (One guest who withdrew, comedian Patton Oswalt, suggested Milo Yiannopoulos as his replacement.) Top New Yorker editor David Remnick also encountered stiff resistance from members of the public and the magazine’s staff.
