While the paper prides itself on serious reporting--and I haven't heard of a slush fund to pay willing eye-witnesses to make up stories for us--the reach of the tabloids is unavoidable.

In the end, according to his affidavit, Anderson refused to sign the contract with Jackson--who promised the troopers six-figure jobs--because the stories were "old fish tales with little, if any, basis in fact." The others went forward into print (never getting their book deal), and the rest...
