National Enquirer in particular knows that if they get anything wrong they're going to get sued and nobody is going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Oddly enough it's one of the last newspapers to still do real investigative journalism. Most of the mainstream papers just write opinion pieces or made-up stories from "unnamed sources familiar with someone's thinking". The rest of what they do is to re-print corporate and government press releases.
The “hot sheets” - best investigative reporting on the planet.
