Just weeks after leaving the New Yorker, Lavin was hired by Media Matters to work as a researcher on "far-right extremism" — and though she continues to represent herself as employed there on LinkedIn, I'm told she left the organization months ago.

From an NYU journalism student:
"I don't know why someone who had to quit their journalism job for falsely implying someone is a Nazi should be teaching at NYU. I know there are plenty of reporters out there in need of work who haven't made a mistake like that."
