Does anyone know the track record of these tabloids? It sounds like they nailed this story. I wonder how often they are wrong or have to retract stories or get sued?

I think Carol Burnett sued a tabloid years ago, but don’t know what came of that.

And Annette Funicello disclosed to the world that she has MS because tabloid innuendo was that she was falling down drunk frequently in public. But her appearence was due to MS, which she had hoped to keep private, but couldn’t because the tabloid people followed her around.

Decades ago, they used to be sloppy. Got sued and lost. Now, they have teams of lawyers look over everything controversial, and then NEVER lost lawsuits. They are by far the MOST accurate news source of the MSM. Deceptive in their headlines, in a way to make things seem more controversial, but literally true in everything they say, or have a reasonable basis for reporting what they did, even if it proved false.

They are MUCH more careful with the facts than the NYT.
