Clinton Staff Knew 5 Years Ago That Anthony Weiner Was Messaging A 17 Year Old

I think it's called a tabloid, in that it carries some sensational stuff rather than the everyday news, but it seems to be more conventional than the National Enquirer. While the Enquirer is often the first to break political stories that prove to be accurate, they also carry a lot of silly stuff, like who is cheating on who, and stuff that may or may not be true, but I really don't care. The Daily Mail doesn't seem to get into that stuff so much. The advantage to this type of journalism is that they invest heavily in their legal staff so they will run with a story that the mainstream media is too cautious to carry, so you get it quicker from them. The downside is that it's not always accurate. It's not that they make it up, but that they have a different standard of proof before running it. Still, as we have seen with some of the attacks on Trump, the mainstream media will run stories despite a lack of corroboration when it fits their agenda. In other words, before the Washington Post or the New York Times will run a story that isn't favorable to Hillary Clinton, they require a much higher degree of corroboration than they do in order to run something unfavorable to Donald Trump.

 

I've never actually picked up a copy of it, so you're right.

 

The Huma Abedin / Anthony Weiner thing is strange because she's Muslim and he's Jewish. She was born in this country but grew up in Saudi Arabia, returning to the United States for college. I believe she was introduced to Anthony Weiner by Hillary Clinton, as they have been friends for a long time. Even before the split, that came about after his last sexting incident, I don't think they were living together or particularly close.
