Perhaps, a safe historical FACT was the Spanish American War.
The war was actually caused by the press. The SCREAM was remember the Maine. The paper reported that the battle ship Maine was torpedoed and we went to war. The TRUTH was that the ship blew itself up due to improper fire control and ammunition storage.

Lots of that went on in history and before we had what we have today for data. Lost a friend on the Thresher and still has mysterious reasons...that happens for sure.
I am simply amazed how folks come on here and stretch their assets to find some fault with our free press. Never saw anything like it but I assume you folks have a reason for that (other than social media bursts on facebook)
