So here's an interesting little readers' poll:

How accurate do you think the tabloids are?

60%? Maybe 90%? Much less, at say, I don't know... 30%? I'm curious what everyone else thinks... ~~and whether these stupid things are right.~~

	It really depends on the publication. There were two major ones in Paris when I lived there. One was about 90%, the other about 20%. Usually the more outrageous the claims, the less likely it was accurate. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Seeing as I came from the year 2000, I can't say. It was fairly accurate during my time, though things tended to be exaggerated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think a lot of them are exaggerated and some of them are completely false. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well for one I think I married Lysander. And I think I cheated on him with Orsino. Who was like... OLD at the time, yeah? What the heck? Seriously. This has all got to be wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, these journals, as well as tabloids are driven by gossip, opinions and emotion. As such each individual journal, controlled by each individual person hold a bias. Therefore the journal networks (and tabloids) whose main soure information based off of opinions and rumors, derived from assumptions and emotion is hardly a credible one.
