Best Answer

Yellow journalism was the sympathy pusher for the Spanish American war. the two newspapers that published majority of the time The New York Journal and The New York Word, reported the dramatic stories of the Spanish brutality. Whether making up stories or exaggerating on them, their stories did hold some truth about the mistreatment of the Cubans.

Their stories is what stirred most Americans to go to their aid.
