Remember the Maine!
January 18th, 2009Kinda funny when you think about it…
The explosion of the Maine was attributed to the Cubans, when in fact it
was probably an accident. Yet the news media took the incident and created
a war out of it (thanks to Pulitzer and Hearst).
One wonders if the news media of today is going to bring down a president,
despite the fact that most of the population seems to think it’s not a big
deal.
(myself included, even though I’m a raving conservative).
The bottom line to this train of thought is, what would the world be like
today if the Spanish-American War had not occurred?
Just waxing philosophical at this late hour…
