The United Enquirer has a negative reputation for being incredibly biased, often reporting fake or exaggarated news in order to draw more interest. Much of their information is based off sheer rumour or conspiracy, as well as claims from members of the public. It appeared that there was little regard for accuracy in any form and there were no consequences or accountability for poor journalistic practices.
