Media Crisis As World Weekly News Shuts Down!
A very sad day today as I discover that the Weekly World News is shutting down. There is no newspaper I trust more completely than this newspaper which first exposed the truth about the Batboy, Bigfoot Stole My Wife (and the follow up, Bigfoot Stole My Truck) and the CIA stole my brain.

From the article linked to from your link:
“Bob Greenberger, an editor with Weekly World News, reports…
…all I can think is that something’s going on that they’re not telling us…”
True to the end.

Don’t forget about the WWII bomber on the moon! You know, the one that later disappeared! You’d think that they would have gotten the hint from the trilaterilsts after the Anthrax attack!

Sad to lose a paper that provided me with the best slide in my entire PhD defense: Benji was gay and he died of AIDS!!!

And how can we forget the John Glenn story, where he was actually an alien swapped in on the first flight and had to take the second flight to go home?
But WWN went downhill for me when they moved from spinning actual stories to making them up from whole cloth. Their imaginations just didn’t hold up to the weirdnesses of the real world. The New York Post will have to work much harder to fill the gap.

RE: Alice’s comment, that was my all time favorite article too: “He died clutching his St. Bernard’s medal” and “He would hang around with studly breeds…” Classic
