Answer:

This quote refers to yellow journalism's sensationalism and exaggeration over simple figures and facts. This served to draw attention to articles and to sell newspapers.

Explanation:

Yellow journalism is a pejorative term applied to journalism made without real research and ethical considerations.

The context of the quote is late 19th century when Hearst's newspaper, <em>New York Journal</em>, published constantly about Cubans' fight for freedom from the Spanish. It was believed by historians that the campaign led by the New York Journal to remember the U.S.S. Maine, the American ship that was supposedly blown up by the Spanish, was one of the causes for the Spanish-Cuban-Phillipino-American of 1898.

Although it is known today that the war was caused by American imperialist needs for raw materials and consumer markets, Heart's yellow journalism is still associated with the period.

Despite being a complicated mix of circles and epicycles it was not a bad model and it worked well for at least 1500 years until observations became accurate enough to show its imperfections
