It is possibly due to pressure from Saudi Arabia. MBS was pissed that WP is going after him after killing of Khashoggi. Enquirer (and Pecker) are quite close to MBS, they ran a cover story on him (how awesome he is).
It could be a bigger story than it seems at the moment.
- sidcool 8y agoHow can they act above national security interest? Don't they realize the security institutions would destroy them?
- trendoid 8y agoThey have President's blessing, who is already acting above national security interest. So yeah, they don't care.
- jonknee 8y agoNot just a cover story, they created a whole glossy ad free magazine about him and printed 200,000 copies. It's bizarre. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-publisher-pal-puts-saudi-propaganda-magazine-in-us-supermarkets https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-publisher-pal-puts-saud... > Greeting Americans on newsstands is a high-quality glossy advertisement for MBS, The New Kingdom. It retails for $13.99, has no ads and its 200,000 copies can be found in venues ranging from U.S. airports to WalMart, Safeway and Kroger’s—raising questions about the magazine’s financing and its origins. The Saudis say they don’t know how it came to be. AMI, which publishes The National Enquirer, insists it had no outside editorial or financial assistance, from the Trump administration or otherwise.
- trendoid 8y agoThis made me just realize that MBS might fund Enquirer's legal fights with Bezos which may reduce the possibility of Enquirer's extinction (as everyone is hypothesizing).
