It was only four months ago that American Media, Inc. emphatically denied any "catch and kill" coordination with then-candidate Donald Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, calling accusations to that affect "reckless, unsubstantiated, and false," and "an attack on the First Amendment." "Paying for information has long been a practice of The National Enquirer and to suggest that it has only paid for, and not run, stories about any particular person is absurd," read an official statement from chief content officer Dylan Howard in April. That statement, we have now learned, was released a few months after Howard and AMI's chairman and CEO, David Pecker, emptied a safe containing "documents on hush money payments and other damaging stories it killed," the Associated Press reported Thursday. Pecker has now chosen not to exercise a different type of constitutional protection—reports The Wall Street Journal—instead accepting federal immunity in exchange for information related to hush-money payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal during the 2016 campaign. Life comes at you fast. At least, it sure has for the staffers of Men's Journal, who—barely a year removed from Wenner Media's greener pastures as a sister title to Rolling Stone—now find themselves operating another instrument of Pecker's complicity machine, forced by an out-of-court settlement between AMI and McDougal to place the Playboy model-turned-fitness expert on the magazine's September cover. The... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
