Remember the story of the Smart family having porn on their computers and being involved in weird family sex acts? Well the lovely Nat. Enq. were the ones printing it.



End of story right? NO WAIT! 2 local reporters for a SLC paper were taking Nat. Enq. money under the table to feed the stories. Nice media ethics. Maybe they can work for CNN one day.



The story



Part of the story:



The family of Elizabeth Smart and the National Enquirer have reached a settlement that retracts salacious comments published by the tabloid last summer. Part of the settlement includes a rare apology to the family and admission it printed false information about Smart family members.

As an important side note, the Deseret News also has learned two Salt Lake Tribune reporters were paid a combined $20,000 by the tabloid for information the Enquirer used to build the story it is now retracting.
