The irony is that the National Enquirer actually broke some

major news stories in the past few years. A former high ranking Clinton staffer bought the paper a while back and apparently is trying to make it respectable. It was the first paper to break the news on at least one major DC scandal.

If those papers (and I use the term very loosely) were deliberately attacked, perhaps the attackers believed they were more important than they really are. After all, they're featured in just about every check out counter in every grocery store in America. Not too many years ago, "60 Minutes" reported that the National Enquirer was most widely read newspaper in America. Frankly, that kind of news scares the hell out of me.
