WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – In a move that surprised the journalism industry, The Washington Post today converted from a respected mainstream newspaper to a supermarket tabloid, as a way of coping with declining subscriptions and advertising revenue.

The Post now puts itself in direct competition with the popular tabloid National Enquirer, known for gossip columns, sensationalized ‘news’ stories and street journalism.

The Post’s maiden issue as a tabloid hit the news stands today with a headline story on the Oregon school mass shooting.

In its headline and front page story, The Post blamed President Obama for the school shooting and noted that there has not been  a calendar week during the president’s second term that there wasn’t a mass shooting.

Sources close to The Post  confirmed that the newspaper has received  new major funding from the National Rifle Association and other lobby groups that roam Capitol Hill.
