1. Goodbye Trump. This is going to explode in Trump's face.

[spanone]

2. has trump called his pal at the enquirer to run this?

[Sanity Claws]

3. Gee, what a great way to dispel alleged blackmailing

NOT!

4. Oh geez

The political corruption just drips off the page.
There has to be some serious investigating... this is bullshit.

[mucifer]

5. what does that headline even mean?

Looks like someone should be suing the enquirer.

Carol Burnett did it successfully:

[Doodley]

6. Of course the Enquirer is Trump's source of information. He blamed it when he claimed

Ted Cruz's father had something to do with JFK's assassination.

[malaise]

7. There is no low too low for these lowlife

scumbags

[MineralMan]

8. I just went to their website. What you posted is not there.

What is there is a statement from the National Enquirer about this claim.

I don't know where the images you posted came from.

Go look for yourself:

10. Judy Garland was murdered?!

You're right, that OP cover isn't there

[MineralMan]

11. That's the risk when you post someone's tweet without checking.

Maybe that story appeared sometime in the past. I don't know. But it sure isn't there today.

I guess nobody bothered to check until I went to the NE's home page (the first time I've ever done that.)

We need to be careful about posting tweets without a little fact-checking, I think.

[leftstreet]

13. There's a statement there about the story

“At the beginning of June, we accurately reported a story that recounted the relationship between Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the truth of which is not in dispute. At no time did we threaten either Joe or Mika or their children in connection with our reporting on the story. We have no knowledge of any discussions between the White House and Joe and Mika about our story, and absolutely no involvement in those discussions.”

So apparently there was a story back in June.
Heavens, this administration has turned into a gossip fest

[MineralMan]

14. That could be true, but finding it would require a search,

and I don't care. The problem today is that someone posted this as though it is on the front page of the National Enquirer today. The OP appears to have gone off to do something else, so this will probably sit here. That's why I checked and posted what I posted. That story is NOT on the front page of the National Enquirer's website today.

I just wish people would be more careful about what they post on DU.

18. Your OP title said "right now."

June 2 is not "right now." Bottom line is that you did not check before posting, I think. Yes, that did run back on June 2. That information should have been in your OP, so as not to confuse people. Many people believed that the story was there today, and didn't bother to check. I did check.

Why is that important? Because if it had run today, it would be because of Trump's tweet and the news about it. It ran on June 2, and was completely ignored by everyone, because it was a bullshit Enquirer story. Nobody bothered to post it then.

The date the article appeared should have been in your OP from the beginning. As it was, the OP indicated that it was a story from today. That's what "right now" means.

I recommend that you edit your OP to reflect the date that article actually appeared and take "right now" out of the title.

Please be more careful when posting. Thanks.

17. It's there just not front page

[MineralMan]

19. It's not there. That story is from June 2. Not "right now."

[YCHDT]

20. OK, mm... its there "currently" ... that better? Still some fucked up shit, calling her kids & shit

[MineralMan]

21. June 2 is not "currently," either.

June 2 is June 2. That should have been in the OP. Accuracy matters. Dates matter. Truth matters. Timing matters.

[SweetieD]

9. Wow this is fucked up. There needs to be congressional hearings on this now. Nt.

[tavernier]

12. Now there is a response from Enquirer denying

basically everything J and M said on show this morning.

[YCHDT]

23. The Enquire doesn't matter as much as the fact as the WH threatened them. The Enquire called

... her kids by Mika's account and that's some fucked up shit.

Even if they didn't know what Dumb Donald was doing they were acting in concert (I don't believe they weren't), fuck the Enquire

[uppityperson]

15. What is there is this statement. Beware, huge popup ads

"At the beginning of June, we accurately reported a story that recounted the relationship between Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the truth of which is not in dispute. At no time did we threaten either Joe or Mika or their children in connection with our reporting on the story. We have no knowledge of any discussions between the White House and Joe and Mika about our story, and absolutely no involvement in those discussions.”

22. If that rat bastard is taken down by ACTUAL fake news I am going to dance naked in the street.

BE PREPARED.
