Raise your hand if you ever thought of National Enquirer as a legitimate news source.
Anyone?
Did you think the bought and paid for over a dozen negative stories about Trump ? Including mistresses and a secret child?
Don't you think that is information the voting public should have had?

Sappy getting all splodey because he just now realized that National Enquirer is a tabloid and not to be taken as real news.
The Enquirer allegedly used a tactic known as "catch-and-kill" — when a publication buys the rights to a damaging story for the purpose of sitting on it and keeping that story out of the news.
The Associated Press reported Friday that the magazine even had a location where records of these payments were stored: a safe full of documents, not only relating to Trump, but similar "catch-and-kill" deals with other celebrities.

I don't think anyone actually believes it is real news. That's not the argument. The argument is that as the CEO of American Media, Inc., he was buying exclusive rights to stories about Trump and purposefully not publishing them.
And?

Exactly. I wonder what laws that CEO broke....I'm guessing none.
So what? If it were real news and not some he said/she said tabloid story, there's no such thing. Think about someone who has a serious accusation - they don't sell their story to the highest bidder. They go through the authorities and it becomes a matter of public record. Or they pull a Stormy Daniels and go on every talk show that will have them.
I understand that you all sit around all day waiting for some broke chick looking to make a buck to give you some gossip, but normal people don't care about that sort of thing. We care about real news, things that really happened, not salacious rumors that can't be proven.
On one hand, NPR/CNN/etc are admitting that the Enquirer is a skeezy tabloid rumor publication; on the other hand, they're pissed because they want to report that crap, too.
what laws were possibly broken, moron boy?This just shows how truly stupid you are.
Thinking it’s okay for a newspaper with infinite resources to pay for stories only to bury them to benefit a candidate for office.
You can barely even understand the issue at hand much less explain or defend it

The Daily Mail is akin to The National Enquirer..
If you mean that they will frequently report the stories the mainstream media is too terrified to touch, then you're right. The National Enquirer has broken a number of major stories that really should have been part of our mainstream news. Same with Drudge.
