I dont really care or get concerned about stuff running in the tabloids. They live for scandal, it’s their bread and butter.

I think most people who read them are reading them to be titilated, and they know they’re getting the exaggerated version.

Also, I think a big part of the success of tabloids is that they take the piss out of celebrities, printing pictures of them without make-up and airing all the dirty laundry.

So ... dont sweat the Tabs.

“I believe the National Enquirer was the fist to run with the Edwards Love Child Story.”

But MANY people in the media knew about it long before that and decided to not report it.

This is the strategy. Make her out to be Lynn Spears.

All I know is that when this happened to Britney's sister, we seemed to have a different reaction to it. Were we right then? Perhaps not. Are we right now? Again, perhaps not.

Don’t understand this Internal polling,will study it.

Got my Hopes,but it ain’t over yet.

[HokieMom]

It was more of an open question. Maybe some pressure on their advertisers would help.

I know, I figured as much. I was really just bumping the thread so others could see.

But MANY people in the media knew about it long before that and decided to not report it.

And many people in the MSM knew about the Bristol Palin Pregnancy and decided not to report it until AFTER the Palin Family issued a press release.

Plus, all this is REALLY sucking the oxygen out of the Obama campaign.

That might just be the only silver lining in this dark cloud. However, Barry took the opportunity to act 'noble' while fully aware that his minions are digging up every possible speck of dirt.

Yes there was.

and if a 28 year old unmarried Chelsa Clinton turned up pregnant I am sure the reaction would be quite different.

Now, I cannot imagine what the reaction would have been at FR if a 16 or 17 year old Chelsea Clinton had become pregnant.

US Weekly readers are the voters her selection was designed to attract.

What?

The Mags, if the supermarket doesn’t carry this trash, then they will melt.

First off, I would like to see people stop buying them, stick stickers on there that says you are a sexist if you read this magazine.

Yeah, but if you're not going forward, you're moving behind. The left is completely delusional on this issue, and Barry is yesterday's news.

Remember how he lost almost every primary for 4 months? He's a terrible closer and he'll be just as bad in the general.

[cattleranch716]

People are gonna talk about this. In fact, they should talk about on TV, eventually people will get tired of it. Instead, its reduced to a rumor, and I keep hearing everyone asking about it - who’s the father, how old was the father when it happened, are they engaged, etc. People are talking about it online, in the real world; if it has to do with sex, people are going to talk about it ad nauseum. That’s just the way it is.

[Teflonic]

I’m not buying that rag to get it off the shelves but I might “accidentally” spill something wet and messy on the stack while waiting in line.

[plain talk]

Looks to me that they are willing to attack anyone for anything as long as it helps them sell copies.

That sounds right but haven't seen too many "stories" on Obama though.

[trumandogz]

I have never had one of those publications in my house but I would not advocate vandalism as you appear to be doing.

Now, I know that some on here would have done things just as bad as what the Dems are doing now, but I'd like to think that most would have taken the high road and let it be a family matter. Clinton or no, it's still someone's 17 year-old daughter. GWB's daughters got caught partying/drinking in college, didn't they? Some moonbats got up in arms about it, but most people just shrugged it off.

[Uncle Miltie]

Palin is the only thing on the news.

Whoopeee!!!!!

No Barack, none of the time.

As long as the Dems keep the media focused on our woman, all the better.

Keep it up, boys! The more you boys attack the girl, the worse you look.

Rick Klein, from ABC’s The Note, reports: Let’s say you don’t read The New York Times or The Washington Post (or The Note, for that matter)...

Let’s say, instead, like millions ofworking-class Americans, you get your “news” on the political race from the supermarket aisle.

It's for sure most "hockey moms" won't be running into Rick Klein or any of his peers over in the personal lubricant section.

[trumandogz]

If an Obama daughter were pregnant, I promise you that the tabloids would be running with the story.
