OBAMA WAS EDUCATED IN A MADRASSA
Yes, this is an example of Yellow Journalism, because in fact, Barack Obama wasn't educated in a madrassa, and guess what? Obama isn't even a Muslim! So why do we have stories out here that state otherwise? These stories are merely fiction made up by the likes of Fox News, Talk Radio, Insight, and other biased news resources to sell more news and increase their circulation. Yellow journalism presents little to no researched news, but instead uses these eye-catching headlines to create talk and buzz about their news stations. This kind of journalism is just exaggeration and scandal-mongering and is absolutely unprofessional and immoral. This relates to the Yellow Journalism used during the Spanish-American war because when the USS Maine exploded in the waters of Havana, Cuba, we had no idea what happened or who did it. But the government needed the American people to support the war against Spain, so the newspapers used Spain as a scapegoat, with headlines such as, "Destruction of the War Ship Maine was the Work of an Enemy." Newspapers also published stories of Spanish cruelties towards Cubans which were suspicious of fabrication, but the people slowly showed their support.
