Latest ‘Why She Lost’ Clinton Conspiracy Theory Is About People Seeing Tabloids In Grocery Lines
ormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost the presidential race against President-elect Donald Trump in November, and a Friday report from Politico asserts supermarket tabloids are to blame. Media reporter Jack Shafer asserts that (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/01/tabloid-newspapers-trump-media-propaganda-214627) the sheer volume of anti-Clinton reporting from tabloids, Fox News and Breitbart was just too much for Democrats to fight effectively during the course of the campaign.
Shafer acknowledges that no one really reads tabloids like The National Enquirer and The Globe, citing the fact that Enquirer only has a weekly circulation of 342,071 issues, down significantly from the publication’s height of 5.9 million issues during the 1970s.
“But that misses the importance of the constant cultural background noise it adds to American life,” Shafer argues. “There are 37,000 supermarkets in America, with an average of about 10 checkout stands each, and many stands feature a wire rack displaying the Enquirer, the Globe, often the company’s other tab, the National Examiner, and celebrity magazines.”
