    While I have no answers, this is exactly what we should expect when business owners control media.

      Everyone should read the story of how the Spanish American War started. Newspapers need reform.

        Well I just spent 30 minutes or so reading about this (on Wikipedia) and am not surprised to see names like Hearst involved. I will admit that I was skeptical about your statement, but it is clear that journalism in the US has a long history of problems and big money ownership. We do need reform, and perhaps that is even more evident in the internet and big money era. Thanks for posting that statement!

          Your welcome, it’s definitely one of those tales that seems too big to be true.
