Jeffrey Toobin looks at how the National Enquirer and CEO David Pecker have embraced President Trump with “sycophantic zeal.”
“Pecker is now considering expanding his business: he may bid to take over the financially strapped magazines of Time, Inc., which include Time, People, and Fortune… Pecker would almost certainly direct those magazines, and the journalists who work for them, to advance the interests of the President and to damage those of his opponents.”
