Evidence in the paper that supports this is, "Naval officers think the Maine was destroyed by a Spanish name." https://padlet.com/gposey/8r5nzyij9oez/wish/200407867 2017-10-25 13:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gposey/8r5nzyij9oez/wish/200407867 4) I think people would have responded to this article by agreeing with them because it's the only news they could relay on. I think it did influence their willingness to go to war because they think Spain killed their men on the ship on purpose. https://padlet.com/gposey/8r5nzyij9oez/wish/200409653 2017-10-25 14:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gposey/8r5nzyij9oez/wish/200409653 5) I think that the media does influence public opinion because our president Donald Trump says "fake news" all the time. Also, magazines in the store, you want to be like the famous person on the cover. https://padlet.com/gposey/8r5nzyij9oez/wish/200412499 2017-10-25 14:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gposey/8r5nzyij9oez/wish/200412499
