102. Agreed-- I think it's more about the corporate control than anything |

I'm a bit of a history buff myself (Spanish Civil War in particular)-- and it just so happened that not only had I remembered the Creel Commission story, but I heard it again last night on the radio as I was driving home from someplace. Coincidence? Or something more bizarre.... ;-)
I agree entirely about the Spanish-American War, though....it was Hearst who promoted the whole "Remember the Maine!" story, even though he probably knew it wasn't accurate. Oh well, any excuse for war profiteering I suppose.
