The unwarranted effects of tabloid news on the subconscious mind is an important topic of study. [1]. Researchers have been working to determine the extent to which tabloid news shapes readers’ opinions and views of the world. [1][3]. Tabloid news is able to manipulate readers without being directly seen. [3]. To test this hypothesis, a study was conducted to assess the association between negative affect and daily news valence. [2]. The results of the study showed that negative affect was higher when news was perceived than when it was not. [2]. Furthermore, the ideological utility of business journalism significantly moderated the relationship between tabloids’ and broadsheets’ attention to misinformation. [1]. This suggests that tabloid news can have an unwarranted effect on the subconscious mind and can lead to the formation of biased opinions. [1]. Therefore, it is important for readers to be aware of the potential influence of tabloid news on their thoughts and views.
