The reason we tend to believe the Enquirer and TMZ at these times is because of the President Clinton mess. Sure it’s tacky. But it’s like the Hooters motto: “Delightfully tacky, yet refined.” Both the Enquirer and TMZ recognize excellent celebrity gossip stories (preferably with sleazoid pictures) when their editors and producers see it.
IIRC, the Enquirer published details of Lewinsky’s affair when the MSM wouldn’t go near the story with *your* naughty bits. As for TMZ, that outfit has a habit of finding and publishing embarassing pictures. Where else but the US can a homosexual lawyer end up with his own syndicated gossip show?
The Enquirer and TMZ have dragged down the MSM, but it’s also a reflection of our culture, as well as the MSM culture.

I dont' know about you, but I tend to believe it because it rings true with human nature... :-)
Yep, a wife reading that hubby is fiddling with another woman, goes after him with a club, while he tries to get away, wifey smashes rear window and hubby runs into fire hydrant and then tree...
We believe it because we've either seen it with others or heard about it from our friends and so on... LOL...
Plus they were right about John Edwards.
homosexual lawyer?
