Yellow Journalism and it's flaws !

The burning of the curran is a perfect example of exploiting a certain situation and making it bigger than what it really was . All of the news reporters made this one of the top headlines. People from different areas where even going to take the time to visit for this event that was morally uncalled for. News stations such as CBS made this a huge deal and announced it to the world. It became such a popular topic that even in my high school was buzzing about the situation. Almost every class that I had been too was discussing this event. This relates to how yellow journalism was used in the Spanish American War because the press had driven this war and made it a bigger situation then what it had originally been.
