Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst,  Nellie Bly, and the reminder that False News, Fact Checking, and Media Wars are not a new thing. Not even close.

LINER NOTES: Here is the approximation of what the captioning on the Pulitzer/Hearst cartoon says:

PULITZER: Say, young feller, vatch de tome. [Watch the tone.] I'm de tome. You gant buy id. [You can't buy it [the tone of the news].] I'm a goot ting put don't push me. See! - Pulitzer.

HEARST: Say, this is my war. I bought and paid for it. and if you dont' stop bothering me about it I'll have you put off the earth, see? PS This is Hearst.
