Chris Grieb Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 This is big! What are we going to do in the supermarket checkout line? How will we find out about Bat Boy? What about the latest sighting of Elvis in a UFO? What about Hell with the lid off? Some of you are going to try and tell me you never look at it. Yes! You do. Weekly World News says it will be on the internet but it will not be the same. This is really sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Grieb Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I've seen a report that Weekly World News has lost a very large % of its readers. That's people who actually buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bidinotto Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I am devastated. In any choice between the "news" provided by the mainstream media and that delivered by the Weekly World News, it's clear to any objective observer that WWN was far more credible.

Philip Coates Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 "WWN has often featured articles exposing plans for possible future terrorist attacks on the United States of America. A 2004 cover story leaked plans by Kim Jong-il to eventually invade and conquer the United States. Other stories have featured profiles on the location and nature of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction, including the news that Saddam Hussein had an arsenal of giant slingshots and Dinosaurs.

John Dailey Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 ~ Obviously, we're nowhere near 'censorship' while WWN shows the truths that CNN, the NYT and FOX fear to deal with.LLAPJ:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
