None of the descriptions provided are accurate for the individuals listed. Here are the corrections:

1. **Noam Chomsky** - He is a linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, and social critic known for his work in linguistics and his political activism. He never served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy or President of the United States.

2. **Ray Bradbury** - He is a well-known author primarily associated with science fiction and fantasy, most famous for his novel "Fahrenheit 451." He did not create "The Yellow Kid"; that was Richard Felton Outcault.

3. **Theodore Roosevelt** - He was the 26th President of the United States and an influential figure in American history. He did not write "Fahrenheit 451."

4. **Richard Felton Outcault** - He was indeed the creator of "The Yellow Kid," one of the first comic strips, and is not known for developing theories about media.

5. **Richard Harding Davis** - He was a journalist and war correspondent during the Spanish-American War but did not have a notable opposition to William Randolph Hearst’s tactics.

In conclusion, all provided descriptions are inaccurate.
