tabloids defaming people

LONDON - Yesterday I was saying that in Italy defending people who are guilty is a classic. Let's try this sport, lol. I'm always perplexed when on tabloids I read a classic in England: "a source said..." ...in fact, most of the times they are invented news for housewives, to sell newspapers.
Another commonly used expression is: allegedly...alleged...
If the Sunday Mirror reports this, there's no need other sites report it again. And they don't even put the name of the person who published this again. Probably it's because they don't have anything to write and they're becoming tabloids defaming people with only their "allegedly", "suspicion", "apparently". 'Cause these are not opinions, but serious accusations. Besides, on music sites, who really cares about this?

Liam Gallagher's bodyguard and business partner Steve Allen has been arrested over an alleged death threat, reports the Sunday Mirror.
The 41-year-old was arrested at his home near Southampton and bailed over an investigation into letters allegedly sent to two people due to give evidence against him in a civil case.
Sam Berry and his girlfriend Claire Humphries were allegedly sent letters with bullets in them at their homes in Worcestershire.
"Drop the case, or the next case will be yours," one of the letters is alleged to have said.
Allen has already paid out over £54,000 to Berry in a dispute over their former business venture, Risks Contained. Berry has three more civil cases lodged against Allen and his company.
Police told the newspaper: "Hampshire Police arrested a man on suspicion of threats to kill and he has been bailed to return to a West Mercia police station."
Allen is apparently managing director of Gallagher's fashion firm Pretty Green and is also involved with the Beady Eye man's other ventures, Savile Row Films and In 1 Productions.
According to Risks Contained's website, the firm has provided tour security services to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Eminem, Kasabian, Stereophonics, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur, Pulp and Lily Allen.
He was with Gallagher when the singer lost his teeth in a 2002 brawl.
