Once the coverage of the Maine blowing up began circulating, America wanted to go to war against Spain.
The Spanish-American war was covered during this era but the information given wasn't always accurate as it was just for the interest of the people. It is said that William Hearst is famous for exagerating and supposedly making up the war with his stories.
