Nuzzi’s book compares in first week sales to those like John Fetterman’s “Unfettered” (2,600 copies in its first week) and Michael Wolff’s “All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America” (3,000 copies), both of which were largely considered busts.
Political books have never really sold well, all those NYTimes best sellers are manipulated anyways. Publishers order thousands of copies to pump up sales numbers. The people in charge now are so incompetent they forgot to buy their own books to make themselves look good.
Also - Fetterman is just a ginormous lump. Nuzzi was being marketed much more like a movie star than a reporter/writer. Nuzzi had at least two articles with loads of glamour photos. Typically that level of hyper PR creates its own buzz. But the public wasn’t interested at all.

That’s gotta be it, right? Are they so high on their own supply they’ve forgotten how to grift?
Ikr and those are truly humiliating #’s it’s wild they didn’t juice them more
Maybe nobody told her.
Ooof doing WORSE than “unfettered” is BRUTAL
