Matter of fact, I noticed that the articles we saw _did_ contain a kernel
apiece of truth:  Sirius WAS innocent, and Cornelius Fudge WAS misusing his
office.  I wonder---does the WW have censorship or freedom of the press?  If
it lacks freedom of the press, even if Mr. Lovegood was aware that Something
Was Not Right, publishing it in the _Quibbler_ straight out could have
resulted in a visit to Azkaban.  Or at least a whopping fine, and as a man
with expensive hobbies, he can't afford that.

My reply:  I think this is a very good observation.  However, I do not know if the wizarding world has freedom of the press but I'm going to say that it doesn't matter in this instance.  
 
MOST tabloids if you read  them thorougly enough have some truth to them, however vague it is.  I think that she was playing on that with the entire Quibbler thing.  However, I do think it's interesting that the Quibbler named it's sources.  Who are these people?  I would love to hear about them later.
