Re: The National Enquirer has a better track record than the NY Times

At one time, the NY Times was the most respected newspaper in the country. The Old Gray Lady had a reputation for accuracy in their reporting. Unfortunately, this all changed around 30 years ago when they decided to stop reporting news, and start shilling for radical leftwing causes.

Today, the National Enquirer is a far more reliable source for news than the NY Times is. And I say this despite them printing stories about aliens from Mars, and celebrity divorces. Despite all their sensational stories they often break important news, scooping the rest of the media.

  • In 1987, The Enquirer broke a story about Democrat candidate Gary Hart having an affair with a member of his staff, Ms. Donna Rice. Initially, Hart denied it completely, and his fans kept telling us you can't believe anything the Enquirer prints, because "they make stuff up." It turned out the story was absolutely true, and Hart had to drop out of the race.
  • In 1998, The Enquirer broke a story about President Bill Clinton having an affair with a White House Intern, Monica Lewinsky. Clinton vehemently denied this, and his fans told us we cannot believe anything the Enquirer prints, because they always "make stuff up." It turned out that the story was absolutely true.
  • In 2001, The Enquirer broke a story about Jesse Jackson fathering an illegitimate daughter with staffer Karin Stanford in 1999. It turned out that the story was absolutely true, and Jackson came clean as the issue hit the newsstands.
  • In 2003, The Enquirer ran a story in which conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh's housekeeper provided Limbaugh with a steady stream of OxyContin to feed his painkiller addiction. Although some media outlets turned up their noses at the Enquirer's scoop because the paper had paid housekeeper Wilma Cline for her story, law enforcement quickly confirmed that Limbaugh had purchased some 30,000 pills from Cline. Once again, the story was absolutely true.
  • In 2007, The Enquirer began a series of reports alleging an adulterous affair between Edwards and former campaign worker Rielle Hunter. Edwards initially denied this completely, and his fans told us "The Enquirer made it up" because "everyone knows they never report real facts. It turns out the story was absolutely true.

In most of the above cases, the Enquirer told you the truth, while the NY Times simply covered for the liberal Democrat. The only exception being the Rush Limbaugh story, which the Times went after with gusto. The Times is constantly scooped by The Enquirer, because there is some news that the Times would rather not print.

For those who don't know, the NY Times is the "Jayson Blair newspaper." They hired a young black reporter who was fond of making up facts and plagiarizing stories. And they stood by him for far too long, because it was the politically correct thing to do.

So can we say that the Enquirer is better at reporting scandals?
