I am glad we have finally come to see the National Enquirer as a legitimate news source

[The Straight Story]

Took long enough. Before (during Edwards stuff) I kept hearing how they lie a lot, make up shit, and so on.

I am leaving for a week to go to Southern Ohio and hunt bigfoot, they said his UFO landed there for a secret sex meeting with Todd Palin, who likes big hairy things. I'll let you know if I get any footage of them both....

:rofl:

[moriah]

1. Also find out if they have any new good pictures of Batboy!

Oh, wait, that's the Weekly World News.... I always liked that better anyway.

2. and The Onion is obsolete

who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

[cali]

3. um, get your tabloids straight. The NE doesn't do the UFO/Bigfoot

type story. And sorry they damn well were right about John Edwards.

8. well, the used to own Weekly World News as well

By the time of Pope's death, The National Enquirer empire included Weekly World News, and Distribution Services, Inc.

And from Today:


Nicholas Cage refuses to sleep in his new $3.5 mill estate because it's haunted.

9. I was so disappointed when they stopped printing WWN.

I mean, it was the best tabloid out there! I didn't care about the newest celebrity gossip, I wanted to hear about Batboy and talking toasters and see Serena the Psychic Witch and Ed Anger's columns.....

It was my sister's favorite tabloid too, she got me hooked on it.

11. I have a copy of the last issue!

:woohoo:

[liberalmuse]

4. They were sued a couple of times...

and since the OJ trial, they've actually have had some fine journalistic moments. Well, better than the hacks on my teebee, anyway. I still don't like what they did to Edwards, but it was true, and confirms that they are still a tabloid, first and foremost.

7. TeeVee "news" now trails the NE

I hope Elvis never hears about this.

[featherman]

5. Even a broken clock is right twice a day...

[spanone]

6. see now you're informed in ways you never knew!

[Graybeard]

10. Turning rocks over to see the ugly underside...

...is dirty work. Nobody does it better than Natl Enq.

[KatyaR]

12. I never thought I'd live to see the day--

I swear it's the first sign of the Apocolypse . . . .

13. What does it say about

the state of MSM Journalism when a supermarket tabloid starts getting more respect for their reporting than some of the so called respected Major Newspapers, rhetorically of-course?
