Canama Posted October 28, 2010 I'd imagine that writing for a tabloid is like writing for a fake newspaper. The only difference is that while the writers for fake newspapers say, "What's the most absurd thing we can possibly write?", the authors of tabloids say, "What's the most absurd thing that we can possibly write that someone will actually believe?" -Canama Quote Link to comment
