There is also the opinion that those who bought what Hearst had to sell ... Yes, indeed, Hearst did set up the conditions of the Maine ... that took us to war... it was all the other newspapers that folded leaving the Hearst papers running for over a century.
Don't mind my editing of your post, Sandy, I learned it from Hearst.
Hey, wasn't it Hearst who thought up "Reefer Madness", and did a massive propaganda campaign using his media empire, as a ploy to eliminate hemp as a fiber competitor so that his vast timber holdings would be more valuable? Guess he started more than one "war".
No matter, he used his wealth to buy paintings in Europe for the betterment of all mankind.
Gotta luv dat free market Capitalism!!
