Update: The eroticize exercise vieo for saleNew Yorker has disinvited Steve Bannon from the New Yorker Festival.
Proving time is a flat circle and no one ever learns anything, a scheduled appearance by former Donald Trump advisor and Breitbart mastermind Steve Bannon has generated huge backlash for the organizers of an event.

Bannon will appear alongside a wide range of guests, from author Haruki Murakami to activist Brittany Packnett to Parkland student and gun control advocate David Hogg. But the chatter is all about Bannon.
The sit-down with editor David Remnick is advertised as a conversation about "the ideology of Trumpism," certainly a topic of great interest to the New Yorker,which has covered the Trump administration with a sharp, critical eye.
But giving a platform to Bannon and his white nationalist views has generated a lot of buzz.
And, boy, are people pissed.

Editor David Remnick, who will be interviewing Bannon, tried to get ahead of the controversy in a chat with the New York Timestied to the festival announcement, saying he was willing to be "combative."
“I have every intention of asking him difficult questions and engaging in a serious and even combative conversation,” Mr. Remnick said in a phone interview.
“The audience itself, by its presence, puts a certain pressure on a conversation that an interview alone doesn’t do,” he added. “You can’t jump on and off the record.”
