[00:15.86]This influential 1 media giant

[00:19.47]was not without his faults.

[00:28.00] by his offensive remarks about Spaniards,

[00:30.63] Japanese, Filipinos, and Russians.

[00:33.69]He printed lies, forged documents,

[00:38.28]falsified stories of violence,

[00:41.57]wrote provocative 3 editorials, and

[00:45.07]published sensational 4 cartoons and

[00:47.37]photographs to support his opinions.

[00:57.10]to heighten racial tensions.

[00:59.84]His real motive 5 for his hatred 6

[01:04.22]the loss of 800 000 acres

[01:06.62]of prime timberland to

[01:08.48]the Mexican outlaw 7, Pancho Villa 8.

[01:11.54] His papers described them

[01:14.50]as marijuanasmoking, jobstealing,

[01:17.56]lazy, wicked, and violent degenerates 9.

[01:40.86]including a set of twins,

[01:43.27] refused to dissolve the marriage,

[01:52.24] his “friend” or “companion”.
