The Daily News was a tabloid.

This is the 50s equivalent of "Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby" or "Man Fries Eggs On His Bald Head".

They definitely left out that bit of context, but I can't tell if it was on purpose or if they're too stupid to realize. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they used the "bearded woman" as some kind of proof for trans acceptance next.

I've seen UFOtards reference The Weekly World News without having a clue that it was basically not just a tabloid, but an admittedly fictional newspaper that was mostly useful for getting an easy writing credit for writing the most absurd news story you could possibly submit.

In fairness to the Weekly World News (the world’s only reliable news source) they did publish a true story about a woman dying in a town near me when she was smoking while putting on hairspray.

The Weekly World News was such a guilty pleasure of mine. I still miss it dearly.
