The Gotham Bugle, a disreputable but very popular tabloid paper is actually owned by the respectable Elliot Family and Blair Elliot is technically the publisher. However, he keeps his hands off the day-to-day operations, leaving that to the editor-in-chief Harry Treski.

The public face of the paper is its star reporter Buck Greasely, who seems to be every, to see everything and to interrupt everyone.

There is virtually nothing the paper won't print, nothing they won't show and nothing they won't retract. Page 5 of the paper every day is filled with retractions and is to some the most popular page of the paper. The motto of the paper–News To You, As Soon As Possible!!!

The offices are presses are located in Otisburg, not far from The Daily Tribune.
