There was little by way of fact checking, and no remorse for errors made. When they got the story right – it was usually a colossal breach of privacy. When they got it wrong – those blatant lies would be taken as the gospel. These ‘scandals’took their toll. It was its own form of public humiliation, and I remember the anxiety, outrage and grief that came with these.”

Undignified as it was, their only interest was selling their magazines.”
