Weekly World News Shuts Down

I read it online so it must be true. http://sfscope.com/2007/07/weekly-world-news-shutting-dow.html


In recent years, they'd had a lot of trouble distinguishing themselves from FOX and CNN.

I <3 the WWN. Their writers have the best jobs in the world.

Oh man. Bat Boy. Bat boy ruled.

I guess this means that the WWN folk aren't getting royalties from the Bat Boy musical.

Maybe they were just too close to the TRUTH!

Given that the state of journalism has sunk to the point where the most trusted source of news is a comedy program, nothing shocks me.

Sadness...

As much as I'm gonna miss reading this paper while in the checkout line, I have to say that the quality of their writing has really declined in the last couple years. I think that once they came out and admitted they were for 'entertainment only', their writers' imaginations took a nosedive.

Please, don't dare compare the Weekly World News with those purveyors of bias and fiction.
