Tabloid stories: How many of them are true?

[Logan]

I would love to say that all of the sensational tabloid stories are totally false, but that does not fit in with the current methods of disinformation practiced in my department.

As a disinformation tactic, my own work has graced the checkout lines at grocery stores, useing a discredited medium to pass along information that will soon be as discredited as both the medium and the author. To my knowledge to date there are no investigators of the supernatural who's credibility can survive having their theories leaked to a tabloid newspaper before completion.

In a field where mysterious deaths abound, and are considered to be proof of government cover up, non fatal ways of silencing those who are too outspoken, are prefered.

That has been an established way for quite some time for now. Look at how the media presented Ron Paul during the primaries. They didn't like his message so they only presented a picture that made him look crazy to the public.

How many times can you ask, "Since you are not going to get the nomination, who will you back?" expecting a different answer. Or how many times did they need to hear that he wanted to abolish the fed?

The same can be said of Dennis Kucinich. What does a question about his claims of seeing an UFO have to do with his policy choices? Why not present all the candidates equally until the public primaries are over?

But that is only covering recent politics, and to be honest I don't really want a political discussion. They generally are about as fruitful as peeing into the wind.
