That's a fair question and I suspect it, or something like it, will come up on Question Time tonight. There's no doubt that some dubious journalism has been going on and the culprits need sorting out but that in itself would not be a good reason to abolish the entire publication.
Has this been done in the expectation that it will soon become commercially unviable as advertisers turn their backs on it? Or is it a grand gesture designed to deflect attention away from the nitty-gritty detail of who did what so that the malpractices can quietly carry on somewhere else?

I think I knew somebody who kept a copy of Parade hidden under his bed
but the other titles were unknown to me at the time. Most of us had heard of Playboy but we never saw a complete edition. We counted ourselves lucky if somebody sneaked in a few torn out pages! How sad is that? Yeah, I've got no time for idiots who believe everything they read in a paper, they're almost as bad as hose dheads who swallow ridiculous conspiracy theories.................like that one about the yanks doing themselves in at the twin towers.

but where do you get your info from then? if you watch the news on tv, they steal most of their info from the tabloids... what is the 'actual truth'?

Bolo, your in Florida? I may have that wrong, but if not, why on earth are you wasting holiday time posting on here. Agile posting, I could understand, but you? You hardly post when your in the UK nowadays

Perhaps the NoTW was an escape goat for the rest of the tabloid rags, in my view they should all be regulated more heavily with serious repercussions for any foul play or bias news reporting.
But we already have our pound of flesh.

Guess who did?
