Helluva article:
What I Saw Working at The National Enquirer During Donald Trump’s Rise
"As we hurtled toward the presidential primaries, there was a laser focus on stories about Trump’s rivals. Ben Carson, we alleged, had left a sponge in a woman’s brain. Bernie Sanders we accused without any evidence of being caught in a 'child sex probe.' Marco Rubio, or at least someone with a similar haircut, had been photographed at a 'man fest foam party.' While I had serious misgivings about publishing stories like these — which took cues from sites like Infowars and The Gateway Pundit — it also felt totally meaningless: Would anyone take this stuff seriously?"
