Roger Altman, United States Deputy Treasury Secretary in bill clinton’s administration, bought a controlling stake in American Media, which publishes the National Enquirer, the Star, and the Weekly World News in 1999. He later bought the Globe, the Sun, and the National Examiner.
It was a pretty shrewd move. Any possible clinton scandal about to come out could be put in the tabloids first with a few key facts intentionally wrong. The lib talking heads could then claim any scandal as simply "supermarket tabloid trash!" "Look at all the lies and falsehoods in this story!"
Brilliant move. The clinton tabloids can also be used to float rumors about clinton political opponents or go after sleazy things that the MSM won't go after like the Edwards affair.
Exactly. So, I doubt if the Globe would have gone with this story without a nod from Hillary. Just as the Edwards story never would have seen the light of day without her approval.
Of course she has deniability, and it would be somewhat embarrassing if Obama attacked her for undermining him just as he’s make her Queen of the State Department. Or, for that matter, if he even took notice of this.
