Answer:

Yellow Journalism pitted American Public opinion against Spain, which pushed public support to carry on a war with Spain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yellow Journalism, is essentially a bully pulpit tactic within journalism which allows public opinion to be swindled easily through tactful journalism. Essentially the United States government claimed that Spain shot down one of the American ships next to Cuba, which gave Roosevelt his glory conquest to obtain territory for the United States such as: The Philipines a good example. Journalism, since the american war has changed with style, but hasn't exactly changed from the original purpose; which is swaying the American to adopt certain thought-process or behave in a way to act socially acceptable to the mindsets of the time.
