- After taking control of the San Francisco Examiner in 1887, William Randolph Hearst was eager to try his luck in New York. Hearst bought the failing Journal in 1895 and turned it into a sensation. He earned the loyalty of the city’s population of newly arrived immigrants by railing against monopolistic businesses and championing the working class, using the medium to increase his influence.

What a man.Live life to the fullest without limitations.I really envy his endless positivity n valor unstoppable energy.What an enviable life.
It is so amazing and how lucky we are to see how much of these early years were captured on camera.
History repeats itself...
And how! I kept thinking of the similarities all the way through this.
Excellent documentary! 👍🏻
Great documentary with new content, thanks! 🎉💘💝💖
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Much of this feels eerily prophetic to me.
Are you referring to Citizen Musk?
The only difference now is that 50% of Americans would take the side of the millionaires over the newsies.
Seems like Hearst was a combination of Trump and Musk
@@glennpeterson1357 Trusk! (Or Mump.)
@@richardvilseck Is he in the room with you now?HAHAHAHAHA
Thanks for informative and interesting video.
That was wonderful!!!
Reminded of the film ‘Citizen Kane’
Hearst did NOT like that film!
Seriously? Was it the word "Citizen" in THE TITLE of this material?
@@LMB222 Citizen Kane is a thinly-veiled, satirical biography of William Randolph Hearst. Got Orson Welles in a lot of trouble.
"Never doubted himself" ...yes ...only child confidence 😊
Good man!
And history repeats itself. Rupert Murdoch is the Hearst of our times . The second guilded age is here and it's worse than it was over a hundred years ago.
Seems like Hearst was a combination of Trump and Musk to me
Stick to reading the Guardian.....??? 😅
It's always cosier in the Echo chamber...
@@glennpeterson1357 I bet everything does.Simpleton.
@49:55 nothing seems to have changed after all haha 🤣
He was a cultural touchstone for a generation. (Glue man)
His name said he had potential to greatness 😊
William Randolph Hearst, one of the most famous media moguls in American history, built a media empire and used the press to shape public opinion and politics.
So what's changed?
@@RichardStephens-bt6or He's dead.
Great story 👏 ...it's about story 📖 📕 📘 📗 📓 📚
Jumping with joy - died in NY with the son & family, in his home etc Watching her died in his very eyesight. Ain't he's glad that he didn't catch the influenza or his family. WONDERFUL FAMILY.
"We just wanted to watch the poll" 1:30:55
He was the Rupert Murdoch of his day, or is that the other way around?
Other way around...Murdock doesn't have a 1/10 of the persona as Hearst....
Very similar. Growing up in the UK Murdochs papers sold on 2 things. Sex and Xenophobia
@@kimtodd1202 I'm aware of where he grew up. It has no bearing on what I just said
@@kimtodd1202 I never said Murdoch grew up in the UK. I said "growing up in the UK" meaning I did. Murdoch owned several papers which were well known for female top half nudity and fear mongering for right wingers.
There is no "if you say so"
Wow that your comment hasn’t been taken down is a surprise. Anytime I criticize R.M. it’s taken down, since he has left scorched earth in other countries.
1:19:43 I support that, as long as it is of use to me. Common cause of normal people? Misusing even a small homeless child to the max (when what is a penny to him? Just like his mother, I won't give you a full plate of food - just enough for you to get by - no challenges to himself, and you need to struggle for every penny of it? EVERYTHING you will encounter in the near future "OPENLY" (Animals traits) but has been happening on this side for the longest possible, just that you didn't know about it.
When his ONLY son was in Sanatorium did his mother rallied for his wellbeing vs 1:44:14 in any political campaigns that his son was HOLDING IT FOR HER or on her behalf?
13:08 Sure? During/after relationship was never mentioned, other than right after marriage (deserted) and he had no father and her mother's appeared all over the world (even months into his birth) etc including with the Pope etc.
Does anyone know where episode 2 can be found?
was wondering the same.... maybe it'll drop next week?
Good question
I know.
It's up now!!
It was just uploaded a few hours ago
Be calm, Mr Loomis!,,
Yeah. Why is he yelling?
had to stop at 11:14 when the guy screams out: "George Hearst is this terrible rough and tumble guy".
its jarring, y'all need some volume continuity.
36:12 - Buy and let you live a life of luxuries etc (He was brought up to do and how he wants it BY NONE OTHER THAN HER MOTHER too) - THEN at a very instance, take it all away after the death of the Father. HAVING TO BEG for it ? UNLESS you listen and do as what she wants from you....
1:27:22 Such a good cause, from Chicago news (the most notorious ground) to not even want to pay a penny to a newspaper boy. All he is after since Day 1, is the TRUSTS not the corruption etc.... look at his marriage and campaign women
You must be thinking that all these trusts (even Tammany etc) doesn't even know who is after them? If they've thugs on their side. You think the other side is just using some farming tool?
It kind of sounds like a family of monsters.
“Citizen Kane”
New York...The big tamale, the big enchilada, the big APPLE to put it in American terms!
Imagine if these men would have used their power in the service of good
35:19 - Sure? vs today. Same tactics (None of the children supposed to get the father's inherintance - BEG me for it, first. YOU ARE MY SLAVE, born by me and into it. Just like any slaves.). The old man is too ill & at the start of the episode - He's not a very literate person.
35:34 ? Right. Alive vs dead? Nothing left for him by his father. He has to work double as hard, than what he used to.
1:45:42 show the content in her own words and the will? ROFL. If that time, they have "TRUSTS" invented, imagine what it means at that age >40 years old (with children) but yet - the monies still with the mother - every penny of the father's inheritance....
1:45:59 Just because I asked you to ask lawyers for professional advice - YOU GUYS ARE DUMB. Those days, they already have "TRUSTS" - they know how these things works. At >40 still asking the mother monies for invesments? Whilst her mother's personal causes are laid out - very consistent with the way, the FUNDS of the father being MISUSED for her own personal causes including witholding funds of his ONLY SON - pulling like a puppet/muppet on what's best for her instead of him. THEN ASK? Such a philanthropist but not a single statue of her or heard of her name before.... WAS George Hearst ever a philanthropist or that of Will Hearst ? NO ! What course was she personally on or involved (especially the will of George Hearst) ? Just Mr B.ku, he had already said, "I do not have any friends" - then is how WHORES programmed their lives from the very moment and even to his very last moment in SICKNESS and not entirely an educated man of his time.
1:25:51 No wife even for one of the richest man? And end up with? ROFL. Get a hang of the type of life.... TO BE USED or OF USE.
Apparently you get the face you deserve.....!!? What did Hearst do to deserve
a face like that.....???
Guy is American iconic hero 🙌 ...I'm drinking 🍸 Major Melon 🍈 Mountain Dew ...nice to have a Dew, every so often 😊
The machine....that's a movie screaming to be made by Scorsese .
Citizen Kane the Scorcese reboot. I'd die.
Anyone else think even as a kid William was a total dick?
Seems like Hearst was a combination of Trump and Musk
Why was hemp made illegal?????
BIg Oil spawned petrochemicals which made synthetic products which replaced hemp like cloth, rope, tarps....... and so on.
Main cause of
Schizophrenia
For one thing
save for the then popular bent for what were known as "progressive" politics,
Hearst would set the template for the decrepit Murdoch,
including serial wives, serial mistresses, racism, acquisitiveness,
and unbridled, unquenchable ambition.
Seems like Hearst was a combination of Trump and Musk
@@glennpeterson1357 it would have to be other way around.
Hearst came first.
Envy is such a petty emotion......
It's not Murdoch's fault you're poor and have
a miserable life......!
The historian guy in blue is really bizarre 😂
2025! History repeating itself.
I see eye, to eye with Hearst on many views he had 😊
Yes! I too believe the News boys union welds too much power. I'm assuming that's what you were getting at, not the white supremacist stuff?
Such as?
That's a warning sign. lol
YES. BOTH. WILLAM RANDOLPH HEARST And. RUPERT MURDOCK. ARE. OUTSTANDING GENTLEMEN. And. JOURNALISTS
the background music is intolerable
Rosebud
Travistry that people like this couldn't see beyond the selfish horizons... Rockefeller, Roosevelt's, Henry Ford,,,, ect. Money the best and great corruption.
They didn't care about money. They were obsessed with their work. If you think those visionaries who changed the world were all about money you don't understand the obsession needed to create companies that were like nothing the modern day had seen. Those men loved their creations. Not the money that their ownership gave them in the stock prices. Dod they act smart about the wealth??? Of course. Almost all of the ones you mentioned were self made. There's no travesty in that. Without men like that you'd be sat in a soviet union type hell hole cos you would have Marxist people who have only destroyed human creativity not made the world easier or innovated anything except their own dictatorships and their own kangaroo court justice to keep such powers.
@gavinbrando8255 they didn't care about money!!??!! Well it sounds noble but....bullsugar....the rest of your diatribe seems reasonable.
He sounds like Donald Trump.
That's a positive
@@SandyfayLeo If you're stupid.
TDS.. The struggle is real.
@@sonnylambert4893 Imagine carrying water for a charity fraud, adjudicated rpist, draft dodger, Kremlin lackey, and first proven ignoramus to occupy the WH in American history.
@@SandyfayLeo If not looking out of place in any prison protective custody unit in America can be seen as positive.
Crazy ego maniac.

GA(y)DHD
Not racist presidge,race preservation,tammto,tomato 🍅
I remember the criminal patty Hearst, pretending she was forced
You don't remember sh*t, 'cause you weren't there.
@alex.velasco
You don't understand the word remember.
Very similar personality to President Trump like them or not they don’t dream small.
Putin: "Easy work"
Desperate need for power and attention and praise
Typical TV rubbish.
Written for 12 year-olds.
Probably written BY 12 year-olds.
WTF?!
@@glennpeterson1357
I though it was pretty plain; guess not.
These so-called "writers" still kissing his ass.
Almost a century past. Well spotted :)
Newspaper 📰 🗞 was like cell phone today, in Hearst's generation
Citizen Kane was certainly about William ...no Randolf, no Citizen Kane ...fair tradeoff? 😉🥸
