The National Enquirer was fined $187,500 by the Federal Election commission for squelching a story about Donald Trump because they said it was a prohibited in-kind contribution to influence an election. 

Here’s the story from the Associated Press:

National Enquirer, caught in ‘catch-and-kill’ scandal, sold

The National Enquirer, the scandal-plagued tabloid that engaged in “catch-and-kill” practices to bury stories about Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, has been sold.

The Federal Election Commission fined a360 Media $187,500 in June 2021 for squashing the McDougal story. The FEC said the publisher’s “payment to Karen McDougal to purchase a limited life story right combined with its decision not to publish the story, in consultation with an agent of Donald J. Trump and for the purpose of influencing the election, constituted a prohibited corporate in-kind contribution.”

What about fining all the news outlets that continuously published fake news stories about Russian collusion? Those were obviously in-kind contributions seeking to destroy Trump and influence elections, too. 

The fines should be huge for all the media outlets that caught and killed the true Hunter Biden abandoned laptop story showing the corruption of the Biden family before the 2020 election. They are still killing the story. They are also killing all the information out of Twitter that shows how corrupt the media has been as they colluded to elect Democrats. 

How many years did the media catch and kill stories about the Clintons’ serial mental and physical abuse of women in their attempt to influence elections? 

Did ABC News bury the Jeffrey Epstein story to protect Bill Clinton and others?

Anybody remember this?
