This time, though, the culprit is The New Yorker, the traditionally staid publication which has slated Bannon as a keynote guest for its annual New Yorker Festival scheduled for Oct. 5 to Oct. 7.

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.

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.”
