I always thought the British tabloids were the worst in the world, for obvious reasons. However the absolute rubbish the US magazines print about the royal family is astonishing.

How do they get away with this?!

(FYI - I am not a royalist by any stretch!)

My nan used to get the national enquirer, I used to read it for the laughs when I was a child, it was full of stories about people accidentally swallowing bicycles or being abducted by aliens!

The Weekend Sport/Sunday Sport/Weekday Sport is still going btw. Personal favourite headline this year is ‘Boris has Corbin sex dwarf killed’

News of the World has been discontinued for a while, if that’s the one you’re thinking of?

National Enquirer is the absolute pits.

Basically there's different journalism protocols in different countries and the UKs compared to most is pretty strict.

Interested in this thread?

Well at least you won't need any toilet paper !

I think the Sport once had the story, aliens turned my son into a fish finger and I was so hungry I ate him 🤨

WTF?! That's horrible!

Cannyhandleit · 19/04/2020 19:54

No one actually believes anything the national enquirer prints!

According to the Enquirer, La Toya is really Michael and Elvis is still alive. It’s actually banned in the Middle East.

Everyone has months to live. Some have more months to love than others.

FreakStar · 19/04/2020 19:58

It's well known for writing complete lies!

Which was the one that had a double-decker bus frozen in a glacier?

@Connie222 bloody brilliant GrinGrin

@HavenDilemma,clearly you have only just discovered the National Enquirer?

It is always full of hilarious stories that have no truth to them.

Mordred · 19/04/2020 21:13

A foreign magazine writing a load of bollocks. Who cares?

frumpety · 19/04/2020 21:20

She probably does have months to live though , anything between 3 and 120 would be my educated guess.

Her Maj will give four fifths of fuck all about the front page of a toilet roll substitute, unless Windsor has reached the point of needing a toilet roll substitute, which I think is highly unlikely.

thelonggoodbye · 19/04/2020 21:22

We all have (hopefully) months to live. The only question is how many.

The National Enquirer is a piece of shit. But I have no idea how they get away with posting such shit all the time. And who reads it?? Perhaps the same people who voted for Trump??

alexdgr8 · 19/04/2020 23:00

if you were really horrified you would not further publish this, giving it greater notice, esp with the photo of the front cover.
your actions belie your stated position.
some mischief here, methinks.

HavenDilemma · 19/04/2020 23:19

@alexdgr8 Mischief?! How?!?! Why?!

It's called discussion! I wanted other's opinions on it! That is what Mumsnet is for....

@480Widdio I have not 'just discovered the National Enquirer' at all, how patronising are you?! Besides, nearly all the US magazines are talking about it. One other is a story about Harry & Meghan.

The fact that I said "How do they get away with it?" rather implies I'm already aware it's bullshit!
Not very bright, are you?! Hmm
