The yellow journalism give us the news which are determinate.
In newspaper publishing, the use of lurid features and sensationalized news in newspaper publishing to attract readers and increase circulation.
Inflammatory, irresponsible reporting by newspapers. The phrase arose during the 1890s, when some American newspapers, particularly those run by William Randolph Hearst, worked to incite hatred of Spain, thereby contributing to the start of the Spanish-American War. Newspapers that practice yellow journalism are called yellow press.

Its hard to believe that the media, a sources of information can deliberately spark a war between 2 countries. An example given by Wang zi, the Spanish-American war sometimes being called the Newspaper war. An event that were sensationalized by the press that later fed the public's rage towards the Spanish thus leading to war.

The press, newspaper or media are as if a bible to them. Everything you read on the printed paper is fact and ought to believe it. These things are still happening now, the press could be indirectly be blamed for all the sensationalism but the majority still supports it.
