Scandalous: The True Story of the National Enquirer

Ok so I see some people trashing the doc for trashing Trump. Ignore them. Those people have issues with reality. I feel everything in this doc is accurate. It is very well made, informative and entertaining. I learned many things from it. My issue with this documentary is that it softened the history of the rag known as the National Enquirer before Davis Pecker in order to make the post-Pecker changes more dramatic. Now it is true that the paper got extremely partisan. It is true it created the so-called catch and release tactic. It sold its soul to the devil with the comb over, so to speak. But it really downplays what an awful, lying, irresponsible piece of junk it had been in the 70's and 80's and even the 90's during it supposed "good period." No discussion here of all the crazy UFO stuff and made up nonsense and the lies and distortions. Anyone with a mediocre, or higher, I.Q. routinely laughed at the clearly false headlines you saw while checking out at the supermarket. You grew up knowing that and everyone talked about it for decades, scoffing at and laughing at the pathetic newspaper. I wish this documentary was harsher on the paper but instead had interview after interview of people justifying or glossing over the irresponsible things they were doing. I still recommend it.
