While the media accused David Remnick of smearing Barack Obama, the public didn't care — they wanted to know what all the hubbub was about. So they picked up The New Yorker in droves, as much as you can call 85,000 newsstand copies "droves." And nevermind that they didn't even have to purchase the magazine to see what all the controversy was about — newsstands were displaying the cover for free. Like the always do. (Bonus: the Obama cover of Us Weekly sold quite well (about 1 million newsstand sales), just like we thought it might.)
