The tabloid responded by self-righteously publishing what its editors say is shots from a videotape of Frank Gifford's tryst with a 46-year-old consultant in a ritzy New York City hotel. The Globe staff maintains that by maligning their reporters' research, the Giffords were simply asking for it. "They called the story a 'complete fabrication,'" said editor Tony Frost.
