- My example of yellow journalism is this from http://www.failureisimpossible.com/essays/yellowjournalism.htm
- The most notorious recent example is the Miami Herald headline, "REVIEW SHOWS BALLOTS SAY BUSH [WON]." The review of the ballots, however, identified more uncounted ballots for Gore than for Bush — enough that, if all valid votes had been counted, we'd have President Gore today. Several different ways of deciding which ballots to count did result in more votes for Bush; but the scenario that most closely match the requirements of Florida election statutes gave Gore the victory.
Basically, it is saying that the media lied about the election results Bush vs. Gore
