Palin-Affair Enquirer cover story.... is the issue on newstands yet?

[npincus]

And which media outlets (besides CBS) are reporting on this?

The Enquirer got a peculiar credibility recently for getting the Edwards story ahead of the MSM... I just asked my hubby to scheck the newstand at the Port Authority in NYC... if it's out yet, I'll let you know.

What timing... on the eve of the Big Speech... :rofl:

1. My wife says the Enquirer is always right, and she is an expert on pop culture stuff.

I always disbelieve her but she always is vindicated. We will see.

2. alas, hubby couldn't find the Enquirer at the station

which doesn't make sense to me... so perhaps they pulled old copies and will put out the new ones later today or tomorrow(?)

McCain Camp Knocks Down Enquirer's Palin Rumor
Posted by John Bentley| 33





(CBS)From CBS News' John Bentley:

(ST. PAUL, MINN.) – John McCain’s campaign threatened legal action against the National Enquirer today for running a story about McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, allegedly having an affair with her husband’s business partner.

“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Gov. Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie,” said McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt.

“The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it.”

The Enquirer also alleges that Palin unjustly fired a public safety official while she was governor of Alaska, but the story is based entirely on unnamed sources. The Enquirer has also paid sources in the past to speak with them, something mainstream media outlets do not do.

“Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin look forward to discussing the issues that Americans care about, fixing broken government, creating jobs, making our country energy independent and securing the peace for the next generation by bringing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a victorious end,” said Schmidt.

“Legal action will be considered with regard to this disgraceful smear.”
