I don't think most readers interested in the coverage of the Middle East go to the New Yorker for that coverage, and those who seek objective coverage of the Middle East certainly don't read The New York Times. I follow the news from that region and the name Dexter Filkins never comes up. Now that I have heard him on this podcast, I can say confidently I learn nothing new except that Mr. Filkins attends a lot of dinners and parties with Hezbollah and talks about it in a very sophomoric way...like like like...immature way? Like, yeah.
