Not sure what it has to do with stuff like that. When one talks newspaper tabloids, one thinks of the dailies like the Mirror, the (English) Sun, the New York Daily News, the Toronto Sun, etc. Does the National Enquirer even meet the classification of a newspaper? It's not even daily as far as I know.
Interesting that none of the more reputable dailies seem to print in Tabloid - though the Evening Standard is perhaps an exception. All I'm aware of are in broadsheet, Berliner, or similar.
I think the tabloid format tends to be directed at people who don't have the time (or inclination) for in-depth news and just want a short, punchy, summing-up. Unfortunately, the same people who like short and punchy also tend to like knee-jerk opinions and conservative ideology.
