While I have always gotten a big laugh out of these tabloids (well, after I realized the stories in them about Big Foot and UFOs weren't exactly the hard-hitting exposes I once believed they were, anyway), I was always a little "spooked" when I learned that the guy who created The National Enquirer (Generoso Pope, Jr.) also once worked for the CIA's psychological warfare unit.

Probably just a coincidence...
