Episode Synopsis

Adolph Hitler asked William Hearst, why(Hearst) was not that appreciated in the USA as in his opinion(Hitlers) he needed to be. Hearst answered to the Fuhrer that Americans just want DEMOCRACY! Hearst was the owner of the most influential newspapers of his era, he sold millions of copies, where mainly were pictures of any kind of horror fact, tragedies, murders, accidents etc; His Main Public was a worker that didn't know how to read or to write, at least not in English. Millions at the time especially immigrants! He made a fortune, with the diffusion in many cases of Fake News, in others with the causality to have always his “journalists” pointing the cameras knowing something will happen! Like with the explosion of the USS Maine in Cuba. He sent two boats full of his people waiting for the tragedy and the consequent declaration of war from the USA to the Kingdom of Spain. He was investigated by direct order of the US President Mc Kinley. After that the 2 time president was murdered! Hearst wanted to be president of the USA, neither of the two traditional parties wanted him. So he created his own, thinking that all his “readers” will vote for him! Orson Wells, in his monumental Film Citizen Kane, he tries to give a human Form to Hearst(Charles Foster Kane in the film). Talking at the end of his life about Rosebud, this childhood memory of tender and clean thoughts! Great film! Great Orson Wells! William Hearst was not a good man!To the US citizens, don't allow him back!
