> I worry that the New Republic is too damaged by now -- that it can't be what it was before

Before what? Before was Stephen Glass's invented anti-black stories (and other invented stories). Bell Curve are blacks genetically stupider than whites covers. Or the cover with the smoking welfare queen and her pickaninny - "Day of Reckoning". And on and on. Most of the black writers I follow on Twitter were happy with Hughes changes. Before it was just a bunch of Jewish self-styled intellectuals who liked to dump on the schwartzes.

I think you're unfairly using some of TNR's worst moments to condemn their entire body of work. (And it's a little bizarre to mock them for being Jewish in literally the same sentence that you accuse them of racism.)
