The main credibility this bankrupt rag — The National Enquirer has is their reporting of the John Edwards affair which turned out to be right.
However, they also reported an alleged President Barack Obama affair with Vera Baker, which turned out to be false ( and which they had to retract ).
They’re onluy doing this to sell papers because the Sarah Palin name SELLS.
Well they also exposed Jesse Jackson’s love child, and Rush Limbaugh’s drug habit; in addition to the Edwards affair/love child.
But yes, they are going with this thin line of “evidence” (hearsay that they paid for to someone who knows what would sell) is that it will sell their (usually) worthless rag.
The Enquirer itself is safe from from libel suits, as it is only reporting what their sources (the tenants) say. The sources themselves probably don’t have money, and so would be judgment-proof against any libel suit.
The problem is that much of America is very susceptible to this trash and rumoring. The lame stream media will pound this to death as they do every issue and it will erode Sarah’s credibility unless we continue to help counter their BS with the truth.
and they did break the Limbaugh OxyContin issue which was widely debunked here but was largely true.
