The Quibbler is a sensationalist newspaper or magazine, similar to the Muggle world's National Enquirer and Weekly World News. It publishes articles that have been rejected by the mainstream media, usually because they appear to be gibberish. The Quibbler also prints fake news stories that are intended to make readers laugh or cry. The Quibbler has a circulation of about one million copies, which is more than enough to make it the largest-circulation magazine in the world. It is published by the Chicago Tribune Company. The magazine was founded in 1971 by Robert Weinberg and his wife Harriet. They sold the magazine after 14 issues because they were spending too much time writing and not enough time marketing the magazine. They decided to sell because they did not want their full-time job to interfere with their other business ideas. The Quibbler was bought by Chicago Tribune Company who still publish it today. Weinberg is still involved with the company he started back in 1971. He is the president of Chicago Tribune Publishing Company and a director at the company's parent corporation, Wrapports LLC. His wife continues to work with him on new projects and inventions related to magazines and newspapers. The Quibbler contains articles from other publications with made-up stories added by Weinberg and his team.
