AMI trying to blackmail Bezos over WaPo stories could be a big deal. [View all]

Blackmail is very illegal and AMI is a very big company.

Few people know just how much AMI owns.

They own the National Enquirer, but they also own the National Examiner, Star, Globe, US Weekly, Radar, the rights to The Sun (retired), and Weekly World News (retired).

They own a TON of magazines. Just thier collection of Men's magazines includes: Men's Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, Men's Journal, and Flex.

They own too many publications to list, because I'm writing on my phone.

This could bring down a media empire.
