It's a tabloid and it is not left-leaning... and it published true and embarrassing things about the Biden family up to the last US presidential election. It also regularly publishes true things about crime (and about who commits it). This is more than enough to explain why some people distrust it.

In my book, it is much more reliable than the New York Times and the Washington Post.



In my book it’s slightly more reliable simply because it’s a tabloid and any political leaning takes the backseat in favor of headlines and blood.


The New York Times has always been very political and utterly unreliable:

Of course I'll take a tabloid that might be slightly right of center over that.


>takes the backseat in favor of headlines and blood.

Great phrasing. Reporting dirt on a faction will drive clicks to FROM all factions, including the smeared faction.
