Many medical breakthroughs are reported in The Enquirer way before the New England Journal of Medicine reports it, because The New England Journal of Medicine has to wait until all the studies are in until they print it.

Yes, the Enquirer can be wrong, but really big stories like this and the story about John Edwards, I tend to believe. And remember, the absolute defense against libel is the truth. The McCain campaign can threaten law suits all they want, but if the truth is that she did have an affair, they will look like idiots if they take it to court.
At least from the bit in Cris's post they only said that members of this guys family say there was an affair.

So it could be like Coco said. They aren't saying she had an affair.

they might only be saying that this guy and his family said they are having an affair.

Thus they would be "right" the guys family said it...

But they still could be "wrong" the guy might have been lying to said family.
