Weekly World News
The Weekly World News is a tabloid newspaper published by American Media. It combines wire reports of strange news with in-house writings and columns. These include Ed Anger (opinion), Dotti Primrose (advice) and Serena/Sonya Sabak (psychic).
Semi-regular stories follow the progress of Bat Boy; the half-bat, half-boy superhero, and P'lod the extraterrestrial who became involved in Earth politics and had an affair with Hillary Clinton. Other recurring themes include the oncoming great depression/apocalypse, and newly found lost prophecies. A new addition is cartoonist Peter Bagge's "Adventures of Batboy".
The magazine claims it always prints the truth (typical slogan: "Nothing but the truth: The Weekly World News!"). So many of the stories are so obviously fake it seems these claims are intended as a joke.
When most of the supermarket tabloids were acquired by Fleet Street publishers they switched to celebrity gossip but the Weekly World News remains devoted to weirdness. Like most of the tabloids in the US, the Weekly World News is published in Boca Raton, Florida.
