Special and radical interests in the media taking over, huh?

Like William Randolph Hearst starting the Spanish-American War? Like newspapers accusing Lincoln of anything they could think up? Like newspapers advertising their politics in their titles (e.g.: Daily Democrat, Union Democrat, Herald-Whig, Log Cabin Democrat, Republican-American, Daily Republican, Jeffersonian Democrat)?

Or those purporting to support a specific working group (e.g., Daily Miner)?

The newspapers (the media of the time) would NEVER support the outdoor reduction of copper ore (by burning) in Butte, Montana and the resultant spread of arsenic compounds on the wind because the owners of the Anaconda Mine wanted them to!

Naturally, the radio and/or television stations affliated with such papers wouldn't reflect the bias of the newspaper!

Heck no! Never have been radical or special interest groups in the media! Not of this country! No sirree!
