Yesterday Liz Smith took on the rumors that Madonna is behind all of it and is just allowing rumors to spread like wildfire for the publicity it will generate for her tour.
And yet through it all, the Post (and Daily News, and television outlets) has been using Cynthia and A-Rod's formerly shared trainer, Dodd Romero, as a source. He's told them everything from where Cynthia's been going to how A-Rod treated her over the last year to what she plans for the divorce. If anyone's responsible for the continuing tabloid madness, he is. But you can't point the finger at your own primary source, can you?
