Yellow Journalism 9/11

February 15, 1898
Spanish Terrorists Strike!
We are under attack! The Spanish have unexpectedly bombed the USS Maine while it was docked in the Havana Harbor. Two hundred and sixty men are already dead and six are crutially injured as a result of this attack! The Spanish are going on a rampage and are headed for our country next. They are threatened by the thought of America gaining more power than they have and will do anything to destroy us. They are planning to bomb every major city in America until they are certain that we'll never gain power again! This is an act of terrorism, get your families to a safe, secure location. For more information please stay updated with all the latest newspapers.

    Good job. You have added a modern "terrorist" type view to the Spanish-American War. You clearly want your readers to believe Spain was at fault.

    9/10
