Alas, the end of an era in Journalism.

The Weekly World News is closing up shop.

Remember, “this paper has facts” (name that movie).

Publisher American Media Inc. said on Tuesday it will stop printing the Weekly World News, which for 28 years gleefully chronicled the exploits of alien babies, animal-human hybrids and dead celebrities.

The company said in a brief statement it would end the print version of the tabloid newspaper next month but would maintain the online version

Honestly, seeing the crazy ass cover stories about Bat Boy and President Visiting Aliens always made the checkout stand just a little less depressing.
