Their reputation couldn't possibly GET lower. I consider them even worse than the guys at Fox News for bias.

Dude, I was there in the early 80s when the print wars jumped off. The tabloids were growing by leaps and bounds and the mainstream news guys we were hammered to make sure we followed the rules of journalism. Our staff won all the top awards year after year but the tabloids got the money.
The public loves that tabloid shit and no matter how bizarre, they'll still eat it up. Even the Weekly World News still sells crazy numbers with headlines like "Noah's Ark Found In New Jersey" or some such.
Sheep is the right description.
