271                          believes tabloids are Rightist institutions that reinfor
271ce the &quot;traditional
272                          patriarchal power structure.&quot; E.g. tabloids' &quot;Rags-To-Riches&quot; tales
273                          support the notion that anyone can succeed under capitalism if they are
274                          honest and work long hard hours. Tabloids' &quot;fat obsession&quot; reinforce
275                          oppressive sexist standards of beauty. And &quot;Fall of the Mighty&quot; stories
276                          alleviate class antagonisms by assuring working class readers that the

278                          and powerful are always punished for their greed and wrongdoing. Hogshire

347                          Bird analyzes tabloid stories within the context of folklore theory. She claims that tabloid readers are savvier and better-educated than is
