119. and what does liberty have to do with the National Enquirer?

Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 09:59 PM by flaminbats

the only link I can find is freedom of the press.

The National-Enquirer isn't built for credible details or professional journalism, it does reveal allegations for more credible sources to look into and report on. Nobody believed the Enquirer about Jennifer Flowers, except for some rabid, radical Republicans. But over time some truth was revealed from this political bait by the mainstream media during Clinton's second term.

But freedom of speech is essential for judging our political leaders..from rumors, to tabloid trash, to credible journalism, and ultimately a detailed view of the truth. Whether we like it or not, rumors and tabloids are often just a small part of the larger view of reality.

Interesting subject :thumbsup:
