William Randolph Hearst is alleged to have said, “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war” to artist Frederic Remington, who was covering conditions in Cuba at a time when newspaper publisher Hearst was interested in fomenting war with Spain, then in charge of Cuba.
The Spanish-American War of 1898 resulted in part from the trumpeting of Spanish atrocities in newspapers controlled by Hearst and his rivals.
