It isn’t enough to rest on sensational headlines as the test for yellow journalism. The classic example of it is Hearst’s coverage leading up to the Spanish-American War in the late 1890s. Trust me, I’d line up to accuse BTC of yellow journalism if he lies incessantly about say, a nonexistent invasion. Live streaming a congressional hearing is quite different. He didn’t mischaracterize the nature of Gym’s hearing du jour, as he did spar… mostly with himself.

Page 569 of Project 2025 should alarm every American, so the minutes I watched of the it were worthwhile.
