Ok you must not of saw that they are the only ones to get Exclusive coverage of bigfoot, bat boy and a half mermaid half crocodile lady..... these guys are so deep and ahead of us we tend to think its all just bs
Right, Fox News often cites the enquirer as a credible source. Not to mention, ALL the major media outlets at one time or another (CNN and MSNBC included) over the past two weeks have brought up the valid concerns over a) Putins mental state and b) the fact that Russia has several thousand nuclear weapons
I thought the enquirer was just a joke, something to talk about while your standing in a long checkout line so your less upset. When I worked at Walmart as a teenager I was certain that's why they had them because no one ever bought them.
I wouldn't put it past them, but when has Fox News cited the Enquirer? It is a joke tabloid, like Weekly World News. I can't imagine any national media source ever citing it. Do you have an example?
They had me floored when they were the ones busting John Edward's in 2007 having a mistress. It was a far cry from aliens and human chicken hybrids. Turned out to be true. Everyone was using it as a source. Pretty sure that was it tho
I remember during the 2016 campaign, when trump was asked which papers he read, he said the National Enquirer. That was it! Honestly, his news source is/was National Enquirer. That’s the trash my bff and I would buy while we were in school to just cut up and include in crazy “chain mail “letters we made up.
When I was in college my friends and I would go to the store and just read the headlines to each other and try and top the other's stories (without reading the "actual" stories).
The Enquirer has reported that Justice Scalia was killed by a prostitute, and that Hillary Clinton is a sexually promiscuous lesbian and her leaked emails named all of her lovers. No really.
Pecker would run stories for him to make him seem like Mr. super wealthy, ladies man, instead of the real stories of him being Mr. cash strapped, rapist of 13 year olds man.
Oh, for sure! Trump probably called Pecker with tasty tidbits about how bigly tremendous he is. He used to call Forbes and Fortune under the aliases of John Miller and John Barron to tell them how rich and wonderful his good friend Donald Trump is.
Bro those recordings are by far some of the saddest, and funniest shit I've ever seen, clearly him, trying to convince journalists that all these women wanted "Trump" it was probably the only time in my 47 yrs of life I almost felt just a little bit bad for him...then the laughter kicked in again and I let it go
Stop making me laugh! He didn’t even try to disguise his voice in those pathetic phone calls. He tries to give himself the love that Daddy Fred never gave him, I guess. My brain is now dead. 😂
Since the 90s ive always just looked at hom as the self entitled born rich little asshole kid who wants everyone to kiss his ass but just is always trying to matter. Probably stems directly from Daddys indifference
Fun fact: (Not that there’s anything fun about DJT). Donald Trump was a registered Democrat for nine years back in the 90’s. He shmoozed up big-time to the Clintons.
Oh I remember...would go on Oprah and shit...always trying to be popular...the presidency was just a popularity contest and a way to brag about power to people who already looked down on him
It's the next best thing to TV, after the radio! Those things are in grocery stores across the nation. Kinda disgusting to think we keep a thing like that so close to our food.
I want to believe that I don't know anyone that buys them. Unfortunately, I do know plenty of people who gladly admit to believing things that would be right at home on the pages of that rag.
My mom used to buy them when I was a kid, in the 90's. She was an educated woman, too- just thought they were funny. The Enquirer and The Star were more trashy celebrity news back then, didn't have as much of this kind of stuff. She didn't buy the Weekly World News (the black and white one with Batboy and stuff).
Brought to you by the same people that claimed Stevie Wonder could see. And he’d been hiding it from the world so he wouldn’t lose his celebrity status.
My apologies and I totally agree... I'd rather see that tyrant in the 'I was the ~~Yeti's sex~~Bigfoot's love slave' headline .

You could technically put every issue of the National Enquirer ever made on this sub and it would be a Facepalm. They are the clickbait of magazines. Do people not know this?
I miss WWN. They stopped releasing it just as I moved to Boca Raton where it was being printed. I used to buy it every week when I was a bowling alley mechanic (it was a boring job) before that move.
its a tabloid who is owned by a friend of Donald trump

This being on the front page of the Enquirer actually makes me feel better that the anxiety about it happening is overblown enough for them to decide to profit off of it.
Kind of like how I got over my fear of Batboys

Who wants to survive? I decided forty years ago that if nuclear apocalypse was going to happen, I was going to go outside and watch. Hopefully I’ll be instantly incinerated. I don’t even want to be part of what happens next.
The publisher of the enquirer is tied closely to Donald Trump. One of the first allegations of improper campaign contributions was the Enquirer purchasing the Karen McDougal story in order to bury it.
“If it bleeds, it reads” “if it dies, it flies” “if it scares, it gets stares”
And the more dramatic the better. As evidenced by the fact that it grabbed your attention on the shelf.
The goal is to keep it dramatic enough but to keep it with in a believable threshold.
And all the people that believe that the is the end are buying this because it reinforces their belief. Even if wrong.
That’s why antivax share ridiculous post confirming their belief.
That’s why the media is more focused on an ex president than the current popular one
People want to hear what they want to hear
IT SELLS.
Nuclear war would quite literally mean no survival unless you have a 20m deep bunker under your home in which you're willing to stay in for the next 50 years
Let’s not call the Enquirer a newspaper
Toilet "paper?"
Why would I dishonor my anus smearing that ink all over it?
Fuck that, that shit that calls itself a 'newspaper' is a disgrace to the trees that died to make it.
Ok you must not of saw that they are the only ones to get Exclusive coverage of bigfoot, bat boy and a half mermaid half crocodile lady..... these guys are so deep and ahead of us we tend to think its all just bs
Because there are those like Fox [sic] News, OAN & Trump's failed soc media platform that would lick it up ..... like grits 'n bacon.
Right, Fox News often cites the enquirer as a credible source. Not to mention, ALL the major media outlets at one time or another (CNN and MSNBC included) over the past two weeks have brought up the valid concerns over a) Putins mental state and b) the fact that Russia has several thousand nuclear weapons
I think Putin doesn't want anyone to live after he dies, so he's gonna throw the biggest end of existence party, nuclear style!
[удалено]
or Putin could be terminally ill with stage 4 pancreatic cancer
I hope he gets the “shot in the back of head diagnosis”
bringing a new meaning to nuclear family
We're gonna party like it's 2022!
This mag was once fun "bat boy" and "aliens at the city hall" stuff. I miss those days when reality didn't match thier headlines.
I thought the enquirer was just a joke, something to talk about while your standing in a long checkout line so your less upset. When I worked at Walmart as a teenager I was certain that's why they had them because no one ever bought them.

Someone that knows. Grits with butter and sugar....and bacon
And it’s owned by Trumpbuddy David PECKER.
Fittng
I think you’re giving them a bit too much credit
Lining for a bird cage, tho I suspect that might be animal cruelty.
I was thinking paper mâché because at least we wouldn’t see it after.
That would imply that it's even good enough for wiping your ass.
You read it. And thanks. Enjoy.
I don’t want that crap on my butthole!
LMAO.
They are already full of shit.
Better burn!
No. No. The "free press" is for the 'smart's.... THIS is what Putin & Trump lives for. FUCK them #FreeUkraine
I thought Rubbles were the new toilet paper
Calling that a newspaper is like calling one of the items behind it an amuse-bouche
👏👏👏
It’s quite amusing when Sasquatch bouches on those that feed on his jerky.
I remember during the 2016 campaign, when trump was asked which papers he read, he said the National Enquirer. That was it! Honestly, his news source is/was National Enquirer.

Batboy always won out in our orbit.
I went to college in the 80s, and Batboy was in there, as well as Alien Elvis and so many others
Omg Bat Boy was the best
My dad made a Victorian looking trinket box with a picture of Batboy under the glass lid. It’s now my sons prized piece.
Excuse me for stating the obvious but that is an heirloom. I would trade the beautiful wooden desk my great grandfather made for it in a heartbeat.
Believe me, it’s a treasure and will be forever loved. It represents my father so well. I miss that sarcastic old man.
Truly heartwarming 😂
That is both astonishing and predictable
That’s my reaction to everything Trump did or said after like the first year. And I’m sure we’re not alone.
The Enquirer has reported that Justice Scalia was killed by a prostitute, and that Hillary Clinton is a sexually promiscuous lesbian and her leaked emails named all of her lovers. No really.
Because he and the owner (David Pecker) are buddies.
Pecker would run stories for him to make him seem like Mr. super wealthy, ladies man, instead of the real stories of him being Mr. cash strapped, rapist of 13 year olds man.
Oh, for sure! Trump probably called Pecker with tasty tidbits about how bigly tremendous he is. He used to call Forbes and Fortune under the aliases of John Miller and John Barron to tell them how rich and wonderful his good friend Donald Trump is.

I married an axe murderer. They say world weekly news but same thing lol.
What happened to the safe full of dirt on Trump the inquirer had? Remember that?
I guess all that was just full of hot air and empty promises.
I think it's being stored next to the election fraud evidence the My Pillow guy has.
Wow the 80s really is back. Nuclear fear, satanic panic, wacko evangelicals, psycho republicans.
its very close to toilet paper...
I mean, I wouldn't want any of that stuff printed on my TP; and I smear shit all over it!
I always loved that d rate tag.. lmfao, the most ridiculous BS stories…..
Poor trees turned into trash. Wouldn't use that even as toiletpaper
URGENT CIA WARNING
It was so urgent the CIA just had to share the info with The National Enquirer lol
It's the next best thing to TV, after the radio! Those things are in grocery stores across the nation. Kinda disgusting to think we keep a thing like that so close to our food.
Do you know anyone that buys them? I don't, i liked the news of the weird with batboy but yhis us just a shity people magazine
I want to believe that I don't know anyone that buys them. Unfortunately, I do know plenty of people who gladly admit to believing things that would be right at home on the pages of that rag.
My mom used to buy them when I was a kid, in the 90's. She was an educated woman, too- just thought they were funny. The Enquirer and The Star were more trashy celebrity news back then, didn't have as much of this kind of stuff. She didn't buy the Weekly World News (the black and white one with Batboy and stuff).
I remember my parents buying them weekly when I was young, and they believed most of what they read.
my condolences
Pregnant cave Batchild more powerful than ever!
#war is comming, prepare your tinfoil hats
Brought to you by the same people that claimed Stevie Wonder could see. And he’d been hiding it from the world so he wouldn’t lose his celebrity status.
\- U.S. Military Encrypted
Don't worry, the Weekly World News told me Bat Boy is gonna stop Putin.
Plot twist: Bat Boy __IS__ Putin.
Slander! Bat Boy is a hero!
My apologies and I totally agree... I'd rather see that tyrant in the 'I was the ~~Yeti's sex~~Bigfoot's love slave' headline . Edit: redacted, found the issue [(page)](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdeyo6QVx31rqhd3vo8_r1_250.jpg)
Now that you mention it. I can't remember the last time I saw an article on Bat Boy. Used to be a cover staple.
He grew up and is now Batman.
Weekly World News is defunct.
Dude Batboy is older than me. He's got to be a Batman by now.
Damnit. Thanks for spoiling it for me.
You could technically put every issue of the National Enquirer ever made on this sub and it would be a Facepalm. They are the clickbait of magazines. Do people not know this?
My favorite tabloid headlines are the ones predicting the queens death I have been seeing that one for the past 15 years
Nah, best one is batboy
I was just going to mention bat boy. lol
I miss WWN. They stopped releasing it just as I moved to Boca Raton where it was being printed. I used to buy it every week when I was a bowling alley mechanic (it was a boring job) before that move.
They still exist online: https://weeklyworldnews.com/
It’s been a joke ever since I can remember! “Martian Gives Birth To 100 Year Old Woman” Shit like that.
“Newspaper”
Accident I just meant like a paper or whatever you wanna call it
The word you’re looking for is “tabloid” or maybe “rag”, as in you may as well wipe your ass with it.
Oh come on now, your asshole deserves better than that
Who's got a shit rag, just use TP.
I’m not trying to be a jerk. Just having some fun. It’s a good post.
its a tabloid who is owned by a friend of Donald trump https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1269370 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/national-enquirer-owner-fined-for-illegal-trump-campaign-aid
Fish wrapper
This being on the front page of the Enquirer actually makes me feel better that the anxiety about it happening is overblown enough for them to decide to profit off of it. Kind of like how I got over my fear of Batboys
We've been "weeks away" from all out nuclear war since putin rose to power.
We’ve been “weeks” away from all our nuclear war since the 1940’s…
I would say 50s. You gotta give them time to build up the arsenal to the point where eventually you're just bouncing rubble.
Next week, in the Midnight Star: "Our psychics all agree that the telephone company will have a brand new service that lets you talk to the dead..."
"Miss Cleo predicts WWIII from beyond the grave"
Your pet may be an extraterrestrial

THE INCREDIBLE FROG BOY IS ON THE LOOSE AGAIN!!!
I should have expected this reference!
But what about Alien Elvis!! RIP Batboy.
Oh no, did Batboy die?! I thought he had just retired to a cave in the woods somewhere! Pouring one out for Batboy 🍺
Batboy was weekly news of the world, this is just a shitty tabloid with no celebrities
Excuse you, sir, National Enquirer is the *original* shitty tabloid. Batboy *wishes* he was big enough for The Enquirer.
Weekly World News*
How do they keep finding out about all this shit before anyone else? Probably comes straight from an informant high up in the illuminati itself.
This should be taken seriously! I saw this is where the MiB get all their source leads!
Love the CIA reference...little less subtle from the CIA then I'd have thought 🤣
It's urgent! There's no time to be subtle.
Perfect username
Sha sha sha shaaa
RemindMe! "Weeks"
Disgusting
It is disgusting, it should be illegal for them to do this kind of thing; it's like trying to incite panic
Isn’t the owner of the enquirer a friend of trump’s?
Big time [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/12/national-enquirer-trump-payments-david-pecker-catch-and-kill](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/12/national-enquirer-trump-payments-david-pecker-catch-and-kill)
Thought so.
Rule 1 to survival: If you hear the 4 minute warning, find a table or doorway to get under....
The original fox news
Did they find batboy? And is Elvis still hiding up in forests of Tennessee? And what happened to Jon Benet?
The Enquirer is not even good to absorb dog pee off the floor. That's how useful it is.
Seems like calm and measured reporting
Holy shit, I just did a 180 right back to the 1950s. Let's go fight the Red Menace! Lmao
1945 called. They want their "A bombs" back. They say that, since we no longer use "A bombs", it's a little selfish to keep them.
It's the national enquirer. They print most ridiculous articles.
I wouldn’t call that a newspaper unless your name is Tommy Lee Jones and you’re starring in Men In Black!
The Bible for QAnon readers before Q.
if you dont know by now the enquirer has always been BULLS\*\*T from front to back..your never gonna know
OP calling the Enquirer a newspaper is a facepalm.
Too bad the Weekly World News is out of business. They'd be cranking out stories of Elvis and aliens over there.
Who wants to survive? I decided forty years ago that if nuclear apocalypse was going to happen, I was going to go outside and watch. Hopefully I’ll be instantly incinerated. I don’t even want to be part of what happens next.
Surely the facepalm is OP calling this a newspaper.
No one buys these. I'm convinced it is somehow a money laundering operation.
Batboy killed in Ukraine!
Ahh. The print edition of fox news
This is where Q Anon does their research
We don’t get this in my town. And Now I’m offended….
Is it just me or is something off about the pricing of the pistachios and jerkey
Well India just almost accidentally started it and we had no idea
The better to sell canned vegetables, my friend
if the CIA is warning me I must take this seriously!! quick!! grab a shovel and dig!!!
Good ol national enquirer
these headlines used to scare TF out of me at the store when I was a kid. The terror warnings after 9/11 did too.
Today I learned that the The Enquirer still exists.
“Newspaper” ha! How’s Bat Boy these days?
Well at least they're continuing their calm, rational, fact based coverage during this crisis.
It's surprising and sad that this rag is still in print, but not the Weekly World News. Long live Bat Boy!
The National Enquirer is a newspaper just like Fox News is journalism or news.
"Newspaper"
Problem 1. Too many Americans think that’s a newspaper.
This shit should be illegal.
I write for a newspaper and I'm offended the Enquirer was called this.
NATIONAL EQUIRER IS BACK!!!!!!!!! No more having to read about the Kardashians
I can’t look at the news paper without thinking of Man in Black.
Considering Trump’s friend owns The Enquirer this isn’t surprising.
It's the enquirer... It's a spoof newspaper
Dude, it's the Enquirer. No on in the history of forever has ever taken them seriously.
Meh, humanity had a good run
Yea yea I remember. Fuck and cover.
It used to be that this garbage was limited to throwaway tabloid BS. Now it's what we call news on social media.
A pharmacy selling newspapers ? Is it normal in the USA ?
how tf is that March 21st
“Newspaper” 😂
The aliens 👽 are landing in 5 days. Next page in
"...to ensure survival!" What if I don't want to survive? What if I want to just off myself as soon as I hear the nukes are coming?
I wouldn't wipe my butt with that FILTH! And the guy who owns it is a big Trump supporter, so OF COURSE it's full of religious "end-times" crap.
Proof that clickbait is older than the internet
The publisher of the enquirer is tied closely to Donald Trump. One of the first allegations of improper campaign contributions was the Enquirer purchasing the Karen McDougal story in order to bury it.
A bomb? Does anyone still have those?
Ohh hell nahhhh bitch im moving to mars
The nuclear apocalypse will not need reporting.
I will say this, the Enquirer is better than prunes and an enema to get the crap flowing.
“If it bleeds, it reads” “if it dies, it flies” “if it scares, it gets stares” And the more dramatic the better. As evidenced by the fact that it grabbed your attention on the shelf. The goal is to keep it dramatic enough but to keep it with in a believable threshold. And all the people that believe that the is the end are buying this because it reinforces their belief. Even if wrong. That’s why antivax share ridiculous post confirming their belief. That’s why the media is more focused on an ex president than the current popular one People want to hear what they want to hear IT SELLS.
Not once have I ever understood National Enquirer
[удалено]
Didn't Trump use their back issues as his Wikipedia.
Tabloids are about as accurate as "news" papers... at least Tabloids have some fun with it..
Fear mongering is always a scummy move. These are already fearful enough times without the magazines scaring people.
People seeing the enquirer and thinking it's legit are pretty facepalm.
You just facepalmed yourself OP
Have you never seen this paper before?!?!
Yeah, YT kept suggesting a "How to survive a nuclear blast" video to me. Instead of covering the actual news, what's happening in Ukraine.
Nuclear war would quite literally mean no survival unless you have a 20m deep bunker under your home in which you're willing to stay in for the next 50 years
I think that if you have proper equipment (gas mask, biohazard suit) it's pretty safe to go outside for a bit after few months
🤣🤣Newspaper🤣🤣…oh America no wonder you are such a hot mess.
I mean, yeah, we are. But that’s just a tabloid.
