Is it just me, or could it be that certain right-wing groups known to have
strong feelings of contempt for the Lower Classes are secretly bankrolling
and/or subsidising certain supermarket tabloids (including the National
Enquirer, Star, Globe, National Examiner, News Extra, Sun and Weekly World
News) being distributed heavily in low-income areas--the better, perhaps, to
reinforce latent prejudices against lower orders?

(As if such were, perhaps, a manifestation of what George Orwell had in mind
via his novel "1984" about the deliberate dissemiation in prole districts of
trashy and unreliable news and information channels, encapsulated in the
Newspeak word "prolefeed." A prolefeed aimed at reinforcing unwritten
(common-law?) social distinctions as held the poor to be unworthy of Truth,
and hence ought be entrusted with only the trashy, misleading and
unreliable.)
