[WS:] The point is not whether the Enquirer is accurate, but whether it is selective in its "accuracy." Bad propaganda tells outright lies, good propaganda tells truths - selectively.
My only knowledge of the Enquirer comes from displays in supermarket cashier lanes, so I may err on this, but I am yet to see the Enquirer running an expose of a right-wing or a Repug politician.
In other words, the Enquirer is a right wing hatchet man "exposing" liberal politicians and celebrities, but remaining silent on conservative ones, no?
