handling it with humor.

Remember, 2 years ago, Trump supporters and some Sanders supporters were questioning Hillary's health and stamina. I haven't heard about any health issues from her these past 2 years.

Meanwhile, Donny Dollhands needed a golf cart to keep up with the walking 66 year old Angela Merkel at the G7 meeting last year.

Trump's Pecker has turned on him. Such classy friends. They can have a reunion in prison and talk about the good ole days fleecing the ignoramuses. I can just hear Pecker saying, "And they believed that crap."

on NPR morning news is that he was given "limited immunity" which means he may not skate off in freedom by the time it's over.

I would like the National Enquirer to be tombstoned.

pecker made money buying stories and selling them to trumpft.

trumpft doesn't have friends.

The ability to find humor in these situations is such an important leadership characteristic.

I wish more politicians had that.

but when does it cross the line into libel and defamation?

We can laugh at Bat Boy, they never named him Rudy or Rick, but Hillary was targeted and attacked.

I don't recall a single real story in it.

The Enquirer was a beast of a different name. I bought WWN every week as a kid, but not other tabloids.

I used to tape pictures and articles from it on my dorm room walls. There was no internet then, at least not an internet that most people had any familiarity with, so WWN was where I looked for the freaky stories I like. I never cared for the Enquirer. The Enquirer ran bogus stories about real people, and they sometimes hurt people. Nothing funny about that.

They were engaged in a blatant, coordinated propaganda churn for the Trump campaign, and no one reported it as an in-kind contribution. That is a felony..

Typically, people only sue if the allegations are true. Think of Melania and the prostitution stories.

That article was reporting a rumor.

Summer Zervos is a better example. She sued Trump for calling her a liar.

has endured years of investigations, insults and slander. Since nothing damaging ever erupted (apart from the consensual tryst with Lewinsky) the gop is still determined to take them down. If only the gop had someone in their ranks with the intelligence, integrity and CLASS of Hillary. Seems they like low class, crude, uncouth imbeciles who are owned by Russia. They got the cream of that rotten crop when they elevated tRump to be their leader. The tRump clan is as corrupt as any mafia family, minus the brains.

cover after cover slamming Clinton and praising Trump? It's legal, I guess, but seems like they should be campaign contributions.

The monetary value of these front-page headlines makes them worth more than an inside, full-page ad. Since there were at least half a dozen of these front-page stories, the monetary value (established by the Enquirer's own ad rate prices) adds up to at least a quarter million dollars.

That's a violation of the campaign contribution limits.

.... for news media. Or fortunately depending on your respect for the first amendment and whether you take a long or short range view of such things.

Like free speech and most every right, there should be limits on what kinds of slander and lies can be published.

.... "fake news" without endangering real news.

The best remedy to bad speach is more speach.

CNN or whomever gets a Trump story wrong, or decides to spike a story, then the Repugs will go after those outlets for FEC violations.

I am thinking, in particular, of the Monica Lewinski story, that lots of media knew about, and elected not to cover until it was leaked.

Same with John Edward's mistress stories.

It's a slippery slope, and the media, in general, is pretty progressive or at least Democratic Party friendly.

So it would ultimately hurt us more.

take the bundle and reverse it so just the back page ads are showing.

What about those multiple murders she’s gotten away with? (You’ve got to give her credit for being that smart)

How do they even sell these things? You have to have an 8th grade education and regularly see a fortune teller to believe any of the stories the National Enquirer prints. I remember tabloid-type stories from the 1980s ... Martians in your cereal ... eternal youth on oatmeal, eggs and chocolate diet ... Phyllis Diller's hair secrets ... etc

.... who, in God's name, would want to? Yet they show up.

Seem to mirror very closely Trump's own predicaments, health issues, or legal questions.

National Enquirer is the epitome of fake news, by the way.

Must be a common Russian propaganda tool to project EVERYTHING on your opponent that is, in fact, plaguing you. Read those covers again and marvel in the irony.

Must be worrisome for him.

And this is how deplorables get the news information from which they make decisions. WOW!

Wasn't that toe-sucker in charge of this shit magazine's political news? What a scank piece of trash he is.

while standing line.

Isn't that Pecker guy the owner of the National Enquirer?

If Pecker is gone then I will say, "Wasn't Pecker the owner of the National Enquirer?"

With any luck they will move it someplace else.

I was shopping in one of the major dept. stores just tonight and guess what - they have the National Enquirer for sale. After all the notoriety, you'd think a decent store would pull all those stupid papers.

This shows why fox and Limbaugh and lying rightwing propaganda media was allowed to grow - because if you live in a blue city like Chelsea you literally do not know about it. Same with most national reporters.
