While David Remnick spends his hours defending this week's controversial New Yorker cover, one thing is worth nothing: The magazine's liberal slant isn't the only evidence that it's actually on Barack Obama's side. Editors at NYer donated some $4,800 to his campaign. "The largest donation, $2,300, came in February from Francois Mouly, the art director for the magazine. Writer and editor Roger Angell gave $500 to Obama, also during the primary race; while staff writer Joshua Hersh and theater critic John Lahr each $1,000 to him in 2007." (A search for Remnick contributions this year turns up zilch.)
