Also; tabloids do suck, this is low, but there's been worse (outright lying, libel, cases of shoddy journalism etc). We know they pay for stories (exclusives!), this is probably <i>normal</i> for them. Annoyingly so they do this, but I don't buy it, I can't do much else to stop them. I suppose paying someone to permanently make stuff up is also more expensive too. Hmm, it didn’t strikeout “popular” there, making that first line look goofy.

None report the news, they report conflict and bad things, to get people to buy it. Seems no one buys newspapers that report, you know, facts and happy stories.
