I think a jury should answer this question

The enquirer has done this many time before why worry now I wonder

It's hard to feel bad for Jeff, he's weaponized the Washington Post and declared war on morals and patriotism.

Pecker is such a perfect name for a blackmailer!

Good thing stuff like this “rarely” gets leaked and he’s a liberal. So at least he’s got that going for him.

MosesDidItBest AMI is about to find out how much 'worse' it can get....it's probably not wise to mess with the top dog.

Gee, the Washington Post siding with their master

Blackmail. Probably Trump directed.

Worse

PLEASE don't publish the photos or the sewage processing units will overflow worldwide.

It’s problematic if this isn’t considered unlawful. “If you don’t do X, I’ll do Y to harm you” should meet the statute. What X and Y are are irrelevant. And If the pics were really newsworthy, then release them. but they’re not - they’re leverage being used to coerce behavior.

Who cares, ask Willie Brown!

Beginning of The True End for Trump

This is becoming too easy and too common it should be a crime to spy on people to gather information jus to discredit them

“photoas” “businessk” DemocracyDiesInTypos thedeannapaul

Honestly...we could care less. You think that hottie would give this bald left eye the time of day if he wasn’t a gazillionaire? GVI’s have consequences.

National Inquirer is a dirty publication that 'elevated' blackmail to a level of 'journalism'. It recently admitted serving Trump & hiding his dirty laundry. Attacks on Jeff Bezos are certainly politically motivated, blackmail & help Trump war on media. It is not journalism!

Stop being Bezos mouth

Its journalism

What the National Enquirer did to JeffBezos was clearly blackmail. His action was exactly what everyone should do to a blackmailer. If he couldn’t fight back then no one could. Mr. Bezos is a hero and all of his employees should treat him as such!!!

Have you considered reporting on wtf is going on at Wells Fargo? People can't get their money, but sure, go on wapohottakes

all of the above...and worse

Channel 4 played a game of 'connect the dots' today. Bezos + Washington Post versus MBS/Khashoggi affair + Trump. Time will tell!

They are doing far more gentle than WaPo’s presidential harassment!

I think they’re all of the above.

😯They’re worse. they can’t claim it’s for ‘Public Right to Know’ & then say “[but... we won’t tell if you do x,y,z]”

So....bezos was in actuality the culprit here. Why were they investigating pecker?

ALL THE ABOVE AND THEN SOME....!

What about your reporting on the CovingtonBoys? Libel, slander, tortious interference or criminal harassment? Or worse?

Clash of titans! Not!

Yes

the emails to Jeff Bezos are emails to Jeff Bezos

Going with the gut........worse.

Outsider romps to victory in El Salvador presidential voteSAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — A former mayor of El Salvador's capital romped to victory in Sunday's presidential election, winning more votes than his two closest rivals combined to end a quarter century of two-party dominance in the crime-plagued Central America nation. The Supreme Electoral Court declared Nayib Bukele the winner, saying he had nearly 54 percent of the votes, with nearly 90 percent of ballots counted. Carlos Callejas of the Nationalist Republican Alliance was far behind in second with less than 32 percent, while even farther back were former Foreign Minister Hugo Martinez of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front and a minor party candidate. Actually, ALL rivals combined. He took 52 percent of the votes, leaving 48% for everyone else. This sounds like a good thing, right? Am just happy he woop everyone . We need a change ...
