The magazine's editor is an unusual wizard named Lovegood. Lovegood is against the Ministry of Magic's propaganda and the commercialized nature of the Daily Prophet. He is focused on principle rather than on profit.
Unfortunately he is so open-minded that some of the stories are not only untrue, but incredibly silly, such as Sirius Black being a singing sensation called Stubby Boardman, Cornelius Fudge ordering goblins to be cooked in pies, a professional Quidditch team winning the Quidditch league through broom tampering, blackmail, and torture, and someone flying to the moon on a broomstick and bringing back a bag of "moon frogs" as proof.
It has gone so far that hardly anyone believes any article in the Quibbler, except Lovegood's own daughter Luna. The writers for the Quibbler aren't paid; they do it for the honour.
The Ministry of Magic
Lovegood is against the Fudge Administration, and says he'd believe anything of him. This shows in the Quibbler, which indulges in conspiracy theories, declaring Fudge has goblins cooked in pies, uses the Department of Mysteries to develop terrible poisons, which he supposedly feeds to people who disagree with him, and has a secret army of fire-demons called "heliopaths". No known characters, except Luna, actually believe all this.
Harry said (or rather thought) that although he thought Fudge had some faults, he found it hard to believe him ordering goblins to be cooked in pies. Fudge's replacement, Rufus Scrimgeour, fares no better; Lovegood asserts that he is in fact a vampire. Finally, the Ministry's security service, the Aurors, are said to be engaged in the Rotfang conspiracy to bring down the whole Ministry through a combination of Dark magic and gum disease.
Fantastic Beasts
There have been numerous beasts mentioned in the Quibbler such as Crumple-horned Snorkacks (which supposedly live in Sweden and cannot fly), heliopaths, the Bibbering Humdinger, and Nargles (which are supposed to infest mistletoe). None of these exist according to Hermione Granger and are not listed in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, so it is clear that the Ministry of Magic also doesn't recognize their existence.
