One of my friends used to work for the Enquirer, and that's how they usually do it. They are actually right a lot of the time though. They just don't have all the documentation upfront.
They use tactics like for example: Pay off some celebrity's undocumented foreign worker for info. Then, when they need more info or to "protect" their source, make the undocumented worker feel like they are going to get sent back to where they came from. So, it's kind of like blackmail in a sense, yes.
