During the recent court proceedings, it was revealed that David Pecker, the former CEO of American Media Inc., had initially claimed to have learned the term 'catch and kill' from the press. However, during cross-examination, Pecker admitted that he actually learned about this practice from federal prosecutors.
This revelation came to light as Pecker was questioned by the prosecution, shedding new light on the intricacies of the case. The term 'catch and kill' refers to a practice where a media outlet acquires exclusive rights to a story with the intention of never publishing it, effectively burying the potentially damaging information.
