The Inquirer isn't a newspaper - it's a rag sheet. It's not about news: it's about scandals and bullshit. It's geared towards a specific segment of the population that seems to thrive on malicious gossip.

What I find hard to believe is how many people take their material seriously. As in c'mon folks, do you believe comic books too? Soap operas?
