There’s Tabloid Trash, and then there’s Tabloid Trash
There is a Tabloid publication I have gotten to be annoyed about lately.
“This morning at the Supermarket, I saw the tabloid “Globe” with the headline “Obama is a Muslim!” Then I quickly remembered this “publication” is famous for reporting Elvis sightings and alien abductions.â€
No — the alien stuff is The Weekly World News, which was always a respectable publication — the “Batboy” and all that amounted to a good deal of parody and lampooning and fun absurdity. Meanwhile, the National Enquirer is a reasonable publication of gossip mongering — but when they state something is the case as fact, it tends to be true. Other publications blare about every celebrity’s “Beach Bodies” — apparently there’s some people called the Kardashians who I’m supposed to compare bodies against.
What am I supposed to make of that publication that is blaring about Obama’s Birth Certificate, his Muslim religion, and “The Real Reason he wants to build that Mosque”?
In the past, the publication seemed harmless enough. It has gone through a usual litany of “Presidential” affairs. The worst they did with Bush was propagate the one about Condi Rice — something which was in the bloodstream of America’s sub-concious. There was no taking seriously the headlines about Laura Bush’s excising him to the couch.
I guess they played with race by having Obama having an affair with this thin Blond woman in a bikini. But it falls under the realm of the Bush crap. And once again, as always, Michelle Obama is reportedly pushing Barack to the couch.
The perniciousness of these “Islam”, “Birth Certificate”, and related deranged rumors — the ones that eat at the idea that Obama is a foreign entity — differ from this crop of make believe. Impulse buyers pick them up, and let it swirl in their mind.
Just go back to Nostradamus. Everybody loves Nostradamus. 2012, right?
