Underworld

Of course, certain tabloid newspapers have always operated in a sleazy, subterranean world. Of course, their reporters ("correspondents") and informants ("sources") slink around boudoirs and bordellos in pursuit of scoops ("truth"). Of course they pay dubious characters to procure voyeuristic information ("news"). How else, and where else, would they so regularly obtain the dirt they publish week in and week out? From the Government Gazette? [Eric Beecher, Crikey]
