Wells These are the people who are clearly motivated by economic grievances to target the supposed robber barons for destruction, and they worked hand in hand with the Teddy Roosevelt administration and the Wilson administration later to do all of that.
Ben ShapiroHOST
Or there were yellow journalists like William Randolph Hearst, right, who apocryphally telegraphed regarding the Spanish-American War, "You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war." So again, everyone at this point understood journalists are political creatures.
Ben ShapiroHOST
They have a narrative, and then they search for facts to support that narrative.
Ben ShapiroHOST
So where did this kind of image of journalists as an objective class of expert administrators come from? As usual, from the elite.

Mike GoldGUEST
I can bring this back, I can bring this back to comics.
Mike GoldGUEST
William Randolph Hearst was one of the creators of the comic art genre as we know it in America today.
Mike GoldGUEST
Uh, he was a big comics fan, and he was the guy who br- who enticed his syndicate, King Features, into doing Flash Gordon with Alex Raymond and, and Hal Foster as Prince Valiant.
Mike GoldGUEST
And the guy, the kid who came in to color, to do the engraving work on Prince Valiant back in those days was Jack Adler, who created the whole comics coloring form, and also, um, was head of production for DC for a couple of decades.
Mike GoldGUEST
And he's on deadline, he's trying to finish this up, and somebody's being taken on a tour, and, uh, he, they stop him, they ask Jack to explain what he was doing.
Mike GoldGUEST
And Jack was just tired and was beating a deadline and really didn't need that shit, so he sort of in a matter-of-fact way goes, "Oh, yeah, well, okay, here's what I'm doing," blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Mike GoldGUEST
And he turns around and it's William Randolph Hearst.
