National Enquirer sent stories about Trump to his attorney Michael Cohen before publication, people
Source: Washington Post
During the presidential campaign, National Enquirer executives sent digital copies of the tabloids articles and cover images related to Donald Trump and his political opponents to Trumps attorney Michael Cohen in advance of publication, according to three people with knowledge of the matter an unusual practice that speaks to the close relationship between Trump and David Pecker, chief executive of American Media Inc., the Enquirers parent company.
Although the company strongly denies ever sharing such material before publication, these three individuals say the sharing of material continued after Trump took office.
Since Trumps become president and even before, [Pecker] openly just has been willing to turn the magazine and the cover over to the Trump machine, said one of the people with knowledge of the practice.
During the campaign, if it was a story specifically about Trump, then it was sent over to Michael, and as long as there were no objections from him, the story could be published, this person added.

Is there any media outlet that didn't help Trump get elected?

(23,946 posts)National Enquirer, Fox, Sinclair Broadcasting....it is an obvious collusion and collaboration and the antithesis of democracy and it will all be exposed soon enough. That much corruption leaves a stench that always leaks.

It's one thing to write stuff that's true or rumor, but when a political arm of one candidate, objectivity is not there, and there is deliberate fabrication of facts to personally damage a person--public figure or not!
