Tabloid journalism is a subject that has always fascinated me. Waiting in line at the grocery checkout, it's amusing to scan the bold headlines screaming "Biden Covid Conspiracy Exposed!", "JFK Murdered by LBJ!", "Moon Landing Was Faked!" and such headlines repeated ad nauseam.
As far back as I can remember, I've always adhered to the policy that if a newspaper review of a certain movie or play I wanted to investigate was negative, I'd often go see it to judge for myself, to see if the "critic" was wrong. I figured someone had to critique the critic. Nine times out of 10, the newspaper critical review was wrong in my opinion.
