I think the complaint against the New Yorker is not that they publish 
bad poems but that the range of poems they publish is extremely 
limited.  Yes, all mainstream, but my impression is that they don't even 
publish a very wide range of mainstream poems. 

What I least understand about the mass media with regard to poetry is 
why it seems so seldom to so much as refer to adventurous poetry much 
less publish an example or two of it once or twice a year.
