Which tabloid lies the most?

Gawker

Star doesn't shine. They must have a Pinocchio nose that spans the globe. US Weekly ("they're just like us!") scores the highest, though are still only truthful 59% of the time. Good thing I get my gossip from TMZ!

Any magazine that is not People is not to be trusted when it comes to celebrity news, for the most part. The others do make me laugh with their random quotes from "a friend" or "a source", but the bets are the ridiculous cover photos. My fav tactic is when they find pictures that make the stars look angry or upset to slap on the cover with the blazing headline "so-and-so IN CRISIS!" or the happy picture for "so-and-so HOT NEW LOVE SECRETS!" In Touch is good for altering cover pictures so it looks like the stars are facing each other and yelling, facing each other and smiling, pointing at each other menacingly, etc. Look at their Angelina vs Aniston covers for prime examples. That shit is hilarious.

People and US Weekly really can't be trusted much either because it's the stars feeding them what the stars want us to know.

TMZ seems to be more right than all of them anyway.

Jennifer Anniston owes her movie career to the tabloids.

Heh, 95% of "celebrities" own their careers to tabloids.

I adore the Weekly World News, and it's brilliant level of insanity:

Print, yes, but they still update their website daily.

The CIA breeding killer kittens would be a fun movie.

My old roommate used to collect these, we'd leave them around as reading material when we were bartenders at the same place. Their obsession with Saddam Hussein's love life, Bat Boy, and Aliens breeding with Hilary Clinton was legendary.

I'm convinced that Fox News has a collection of old Ed Anger columns sitting in their breakrooms, just to give their hosts inspiration and talking points.

The Sun, The Daily Star and the News of the World are the worst UK offenders.

I truly believe it should be illegal to profit from unsolicited photos of celebrities (or anyone, really). The tabloid industry should be shut down.

Weekly World News was amazing,I loved the hell out of it. I didn't know they still updated the site so that news just made my day.
