The Yellow Kid is an American comic strip character that appeared from 1895 to 1898 in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, and later William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. Created and drawn by Richard F. Outcault in the comic strip Hogan's Alley (and later under other names as well), it was one of the first Sunday supplement comic strips in an American newspaper, although its graphical layout had already been thoroughly established in political and other, purely-for-entertainment cartoons. Outcault's use of word balloons in the Yellow Kid influenced the basic appearance and use of balloons in subsequent newspaper comic strips and comic books.

The Yellow Kid is also famous for its connection to the coining of the term "yellow journalism." The idea of "yellow journalism" was the sensationalized stories for the sake of selling papers, which was named from the "Yellow Kid" cartoons. Although a cartoon, Outcault's work aimed its humor and social commentary at Pulitzer's adult readership. The strip has been described as "... a turn-of-the-century theater of the city, in which class and racial tensions of the new urban, consumerist environment were acted out by a mischievous group of New York City kids from the wrong side of the tracks."

STOP calling them journalists!! They are political activists! Examine their work! Put it to the “journalist” test. If they follow journalism it will pass. If they are political activists it will be revealed. In pressers call them out by identifying them as an activist from the Democrat party.

Interesting.
Thanks for not just telling me to google it.

Now I know where the term ‘yellow journalism’ comes from and what it means.

Trump is a true leader!

Hope many Freepers caught PDJT’s masterful approximate 35 minute presser on the tarmac in NJ a few minutes ago. It was absolutely amazing, answering questions on a wide range of topics. He even offered a lengthy excoriation of Faux News, taking them to task and threatening to perhaps deny them hosting of any general election debates.

We are truly blessed to have PDJT as our Commander-in-Chief.

THE PRESIDENT'S CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT MILITARY OPERATIONS AGAINST TERRORISTS AND NATIONS SUPPORTING THEM The President has broad constitutional power to take military action in response to the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. Congress has acknowledged this inherent executive power in both the War Powers Resolution and the Joint Resolution passed by Congress on September 14, 2001.

The President has constitutional power not only to retaliate against any person, organization, or State suspected of involvement in terrorist attacks on the United States, but also against foreign States suspected of harboring or supporting such organizations.

The President may deploy military force preemptively against terrorist organizations or the States that harbor or support them, whether or not they can be linked to the specific terrorist incidents of September 11, 2001'

Trump again lashes out at NY Times...

Trump simply pointed out the obvious truth. He is good at that.
