The first statement is correct.

- Hearst used sensational, often exaggerated reporting about the fighting in Cuba — part of “yellow journalism.” (The famous line attributed to him is “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.”)
- He did not support Pulitzer in rescuing a prisoner in Cuba.
- He did not plead with the U.S. government to censor Pulitzer’s newspaper.
