If you want to see how trump cn get away with this bs, just look at the banal, mindless drivel regurgitated by the good captain up there. Ask yourself if there is a single fact anywhere in that statement, then you have your answer why facts even matter any longer.

there goes the gobbel propaganda star BlandaKlausvitz

I know that yellow journalism was named after yellow cartoons in popular newspapers ignorant shits. And those "yellow journals" supported war with spain. Are you ignorant? Yes you are.

No one is claiming media bias is something new, Brad. The White House Press Secretary advancing petty lies as a means of discrediting the media is, perhaps not new, but certainly abnormal.

SantaClaus is an informed and reasonable person. #alternativefacts

Santa and Brad love each other. #alternativefacts

I provide a fact. Leon doesn't know the fact. The fact isn't real. This is the world today.

So here on out the term "yellow journalism" somehow "the term yellow journalism came from the press of the day pushing the united states into the spanish-american war," Even though that statement is not based in fact.

oh you have me, Klaus. yes i am completely ignorant. boy you are just the paragon of judgment and knowledge.

Bo matured and stopped posting a .gif as a reaction to everything on this site

Truth be told though Bo's post still made me laugh <3

No, Santa. Yellow refers to all forms of false and sensationalist media. Just because the term originated from a set of cartoons doesn't mean it was limited to that context, hence yellow journalism and not yellow cartoons. This description perfectly fits the current media, which throws all manner of false accusations and half-truths at Trump to garner clicks.

*Yellow journalism refers to

That doesn't excuse the press secretary morally shaming them for not printing the lies that suit his government best.

By the way, just as the original yellow journalism aimed to get us into a way with Spain, the yellow journalism of today seeks to draw us into a war with Russia and China.

so how was it that we went to war against spain? probably has nothing to do with fact distortion of a boiler accident on the USS Maine by a newspaper's owner where spanish spied sabotaged the fateful ship. nah.

We were talking about how the term originated, the term originated before the Spanish American War. The term was associated with the Spanish American war it did not originate in the Spanish American War. But why let facts get in the way of a false statement. The statement came for the battle over readership related to the yellow kid and other cartoons as well as sensationalized news reports. FACT.

"so how was it that we went to war against spain? probably has nothing to do with fact distortion of a boiler accident on the USS Maine by a newspaper's owner where spanish spied sabotaged the fateful ship. nah. "

Yellow Journalists pushed us into the war against spain. Yellow Journalists who were known as yellow journalists because of the battle over the "yellow kid" comic strip.

funny how i never mentioned the current administration or its efforts yet my commentary was immediately attached to it as if it was the reason for my posting

your ignorance and denial of it makes it directly relevant to the current administration.

No, you said that anything except cartoons being considered yellow journalism is "illegible". FACT

The media demands war with Russia and China. #alternativefacts

Klaus you seem to be so pent up with the original use of the term and fail to see the later use of the term to describe a process. again you twist your facts to make your case when that had nothing to do with the commentary.

"No, you said that anything except cartoons being considered yellow journalism is "illegible". FACT "

I said that Capt Leons writing was illegible. The only statement that I could make head or tails of was an alternative fact about the origin of the term yellow journalism.

still you cling, Klaus, to attaching things to suit your whim. i didn't mention the administration because i didn't want to limit the comment to their actions. i deny nothing because i wasn't talking about what that.

who is captain leon? is this a sign of your mixing things up again, Klaus?

perhaps i used works and terms that you never learned in school, Klaus. you did go to school didn't you Klaus?

I think it fits for both of you, so it makes sense. I'll call you both Captain Leon from now on,

"perhaps i used works and terms that you never learned in school, Klaus. you did go to school didn't you Klaus? "


I wasn't going to bring it up, but I'm a professional historian with undergraduate and graduate degrees in American history, so yes, I did go to school Captain Leon

i see, well i am a graduate of the US Naval Academy, major of history and minor of political science. i also hold an MBA, a Masters in Education, and one in Theology. furthermore i obtained several officer commissions the last as a Captain in the US Navy. By the way the USNA degree was a bachelor of science as i also had to take multiple courses in math, science and engineering. did you know that the Naval Academy is more difficult to get in than Harvard, MIT, Caltech or UC Berkeley?
