Popbitch began as a newsletter and turned into a scandal soothsayer, breaking stories no traditional media would touch.
In 2002, Popbitch was contacted by someone working at one of the UK's infamous tabloid newspapers who detailed to them how reporters were hacking the voicemails of celebrities."We just wrote it up as it came in because it was from an impeccable source [and] nobody [else] in the media wanted to pick up on it."
"I know from talking to the New York Times and the Washington Post, [that article] became the seminal text people used when they were starting to cover the National Enquirer [links to] Trump more seriously," Wright said. "They like to steal our stories and our ideas but they don't like to credit the fact there are some outsiders coming along and having a bite at them."Given Popbitch's track record for being ahead of the curve, what does Wright predict as the next big scandal?

Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?' Ms Rawling said. \n\nThe Twitter trend TERF, which means trans-exclusionary radical feminist, emerged after Ms Rawling tweeted in defense of Maya Forstater, who was a visiting fellow at the Centre for Global Development, a UK poverty think tank.\n\nMs Forstater responded to an employment tribunal after it ruled against her.\n\n'My belief, as I set out in my witness statement, is that sex is a biological fact and is immutable. There are two sexes. Men are male. Women are female. It is impossible to change sex. These were until very recently understood as basic facts of life,' Ms Forstater said. \n\nImage: Getty
