Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.
It's not liberal, buddy.
The first time it was called that was when Hearst, the big far-right hodaddy of his day, stated the Spanish-American war, just to sell newspapers.
A well known technique is to whip people into a frenzy to gain support of their agenda. Most times yellow journalism is used to gain support of the people to agree to going to war. Today, liberals are at war with President Trump. their enemy. The liberal media who still have not gotten over Hillary's loss and vows to fight him no matter what is whipping liberals into a frenzy.
Another day, another liberal melt down. The media is doing a great job of whipping liberals into a frenzy.
Wait a minute. How can they be melting down and whipped into a frenzy at the same time?
If you quit mixing your metaphors and you'll make more sense.
And quit looking at it as if it was a war. We are all Americans here. No one wants another civil war. Stop the war chant.
All of us have a President who appears to have done some questionable things with some questionable people. All we want are some honest answers to some legitimate questions.
It's not liberal, buddy.

Maddow now blaming viewers for all that hype and no delivery,” quoting a statement that she made to the Associated Press. "Because I have information about the president doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily a scandal. It doesn’t mean that it’s damning information. If other people leapt to that conclusion without me indicating that it was, that hype is external to what we did."
Operation Mockingbird
Recruited leading American journalists into a propaganda network and oversaw the operations of front groups.
"You don't need to manipulate Time magazine, for example, because there are CIA people at the management level." -- William B. Bader, former CIA intelligence officer, briefing members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein
Operation Mockingbird ... "You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." - CIA operative on the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories. (New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1991)
Certainly our insane destroy Trump and every conservative media apparatus has no value except causing a serious distrust of everything they say. Is it possibly sensationalism to obtain viewership, possibly but I think this is just a manifestation of journalists congregating in a few cities amongst a one mindset group. When they find out most of the rest of the country doesn't agree with them, they freak out.
