Freepers turn to supermarket tabloids for the REAL "news"

Just when you thought they couldn't get any more shallow and gullible...
These people live in some sort of cartoonish quasi-reality!!

BREAKING NEWS! The Shocking Secrets That Could Destroy Obama's Presidency

I don't read much tabloid journalism, but they have been pretty good lately with political scandals.

I was grocery shopping yesterday at Wal Mart and noticed this article as I passed through the check out. I bought the magazine, and was very relieved to see in print the Globe asking the eight questions most on my mind these past few weeks as I have researched Barack Obamas past.

The questions ranged from his citizenship status to his ties to the death of Donald Young.

I was really pleased to finally see this coverage.

The tabloids lead the way on the Monica Lewinsky story.

This reminds me of Men In Black where they get the REAL facts from the checkout tabloids, all other media is smoke and mirrors.

FR has jumped the shark if we start using “the Globe” as an authentic source.

World of difference between “the National Enquirer” and “the Globe”.

The National Enquirer pays people to rat out their famous friends.

The Globe pays people to make things up.

It was not “tabloids” that broke the John Edwards, Jesse Jackson, Rush Limbaugh stories; it was “the National Enquirer”.

Actually bought the two (Yes I was wearing my dark glasses and heavy coat as not to be recognized)....Was pleasantly surprised to see that the topic was handled very well, very professionally. A lot of facts stated, from both sides. People quoted that were personally involved. No conclusion made...A real we report you decide type of articles....

Compared to the NYT front page articles which used rumors and unnamed sources on Bush, McCain, Palin etc etc., they were masterpieces.

2. "I was grocery shopping yesterday at Wal Mart"

That says it all.

3. the death of Donald Young ? Is this a Vince Foster redo?

I hope they have outgrown the need to invent scandals!

What we really need is a truth commission to look at the last 8 years!

[Mz Pip]

4. All lies and jest.

Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.


Freepers will believe anything negative about Obama because they want to.

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. They just want what fits into their belief system, not the truth.

[KG]

6. 'World of difference between “the National Enquirer” and “the Globe”.'

folks, you just can't make this shit up!

[musette_sf]

7. one can hope that this particular freeper and his sig line

will one day through no fault of his own be unable to work, and will thereby willingly starve himself to death to ensure his principles are pure.

allmendream ("He who does not work shall not eat")

did i mention these @sshats make me sick?

[niceypoo]

8. I work with someone who always quotes that bible passage

He who does not work, nor shall he eat....or whatever.

when I ask him, "Does this mean that the idle rich shouldn't be allowed to eat?," he either tries changing the subject or walks away.

[musette_sf]

9. well of course!

the idle rich should be served the tastiest, best pieces first!

and also pay no taxes!

:sarcasm:

[Natalya Slosky]

10. Funny how these idiots believe the stories about Obama...

These are the same tabloids that said Dumbya and Laura was getting a divorce; that Dumbya started drinking again, etc. Funny how Freepers didn't take THAT as gospel. :eyes: Hypocrisy, thy name is FreeRepublic.
