"("Shameful Treachery") the paper then stated that they must "wait for the evidence before formally charging Spain with the shameful treachery, which all the world is ready to suspect her." ("Shameful Treachery") in the end the Journal advocated for a military response to what it believed was Spanish aggression, and stated that peace needed to be imposed on Cuba by American forces. The newspaper also recommended that the United States government immediately recognize the independence of Cuba and the American ship Vesuvius be recalled from duty with Spain.
While one newspaper, the Times, called for calm and an understanding of the facts before acting, the Journal attempted to stoke the fires of war. The Times' investigation of the facts so far indicated that the government of Spain was unlikely to be responsible for the destruction of the Maine, and that it was most likely an accident. And while the Journal did admit that it was most likely an accident, it later stated that the cause was irrelevant and that it was still Spain's fault. The purpose of the Times editorial seemed to be to report on the facts, support the conclusion...
But the Journal was quite different. it's editorial seemed to blame Spain, tell of all the ways Spain benefited from the disaster, and try to get Americans to go to war with Spain.
In America the traditional role of the media is to report on the facts in a fair and impartial manner. With this in mind, the Times best served the public by remaining calm, reminding the public that it was not in Spain's interest to attack the U.S., and to wait for the facts before acting. By stoking public opinion against Spain, the Journal was instrumental in starting a war between Spain and the United States.
