Today comes devastating news to conspiracy lovers everywhere. The Weekly World News, American Media Inc.'s tabloid, the standard-setter in American lurid journalism, will end its 28-year run late this month.
While the company would have you believe that the decision is based on declining sales, BloggingStocks has learned from an unnamed source that the magazine has in fact been infiltrated by an alien race from Ur-Earth, the twin of our planet that shares our orbit but on the other side of the sun. NASA and the Masonic Order, in an attempt to keep the American public from learning of this threat, have confiscated the Weekly World News presses and put their reporters through the same brainwashing regime used so successfully on the Warren Commission.
Bat Boy, the magazine's most famous cover photo subject, was quoted as saying, "This is indeed a black day for American journalism. The death of America's 'only reliable newspaper' puts even more pressure on BloggingStocks.com to expose the conspiracies that lie behind the news."
Media observers have openly wondered how Rupert Murdoch (News Corp, NYSE: NWS) came to pass up this opportunity. Critics, however, suggest he may be part of the conspiracy. Bat Boy refused to comment.
