      That's how Hearst successors STILL DO BUSINESS in 2022, even on their non-news related (i.e., fashion magazines) publications.
      But that's NOT how "yellow journalism" started, even though Bill Hearst might've brought it to its' peak. It started decades earlier in England when papers that threw that kind (worse most likely) of "yellow journalism" were papers that were sized smaller (tabloid size) than the traditional (like the Times of London) and were printed in YELLOW PAPER, hence the name.

      Information wars are a lot more powerful then real wars, in 1914 when the war began there was already about 300 fiction books and articles that had been published in England about the evil Hun that ate babies and how they were going to invade Britain soon, the public already had a profound hatred of anything German before the war had even started. Hard to say whether the government was behind it or not but the effectiveness of the campaign left no doubt which led to the British becoming the masters of atrocity propaganda far, far ahead of anyone else, the viciousness of the claims was so outrageous it would never work today... unless you're the president of the US, starting in 1898 with this war here on Spain, every single one after that was based on lies easy to uncover, enless you are a US citizen, these people will believe anything without taking the time to do their own research and since they have over 1000 military bases all over the world, 7000 nukes and the most powerful army in the world, it gets scary sometimes.

      If you are interested, research the impact Walter Cronkite had on the Viet Nam war immediat4ly after the Tett offensive. It was the single most decisive victory of the US and South Viet Nam against the VC which was destroyed as a fighting force. Yet Cronkite declared it a loss and the rest of the media did the same. A book featuring interviews by Nguyen Giap (the military leader of North Viet Nam) tells the story of how they viewed Cronkite and other "reporters" slanting the situation as an ally of theirs.

      @@oldtanker4860 Yes, I remember that well, it wasn't an overwhelming victory for the US, after all the north Viets had iniltrated the towns without the US realizing it which was quite an achievement in itself but it was not either the defeat the media of the time presented, it was a great propaganda coup because whether it was intentional or not, the American pubic was deeply divided at that time so everything that came from Vietnam was filtered by the authorities to make it look good but that offensive could not be denied, it happened live on TV so that gave a serious blow to the war partisans who had lied about everything pretty much since the beginning, I remember seeing an interview with Gen Westmoreland and the poor man had to look at the camera and say he was not lying, he didn't convince anyone
      SO, when Cronkite said that a clear victory was not possible anymore, he wan't totally wrong. I think it simply hastened the end of a war that had no reason to be simply by exposing the lies that had to be told to the public to keep the damn thing going. Everything from the gulf of Tonkin to the overthrow of Prince Slhanouk was just a horrific pack of lies, it had to end, the US lost much more than a war over there, it lost its soul, 100,000 Vets have now committed suicide because they weren't able to live with what they had seen or done over there, almost twice the number of those who died in combat, something was wrong about that war, very wrong.
