"The Enquirer doesn't pretend they are doing straight reporting?"

Actually, The Enquirer has changed a lot in recent years, and most of the stuff in there is straight news, albeit mostly gossipy, and generally reasonably accurate. It shouldn't be confused with the Weekly World News or The Star.

I have never really read the Enquirer. If it is reasonably accurate, then that must be the difference between it and the NYT.
