Talk:Arthur Brisbane

Untitled

Maybe some more information about Brisbane's family history? As it is now there is nothing listed about his family life beyond who his eccentric father was. The only other factoid we have listed in that regard is that Arthur S. Brisbane (born circa 1950) of the New York Times is the grandson of someone born in 1864. Thus for that to be true his father or grandfather-or both-must have had children late in life. Are we sure he is not a great-grandson? Very little can be unearthed about this on the net. Elder Brisbane's obits listed nothing about his survivors.

His newspaper ownership.

Brisbane bought the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin and the Washington Times, either with his own funds or as a front man for Hearst. Official ownership eventually passed to Hearst. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.215.123.163 (talk) 18:47, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

National scandal?

No mention of the national uproar that was caused after Assassination of President McKinley? Brisbane wrote an article calling for someone to shoot McKinley and was accused of yellow journalism and stirring up the fatal act. The scandal ended William Hearst's (owner of the newspaper) presidential hopes and was a huge national scandal. WikiMane11 (ThunderPeel) (talk) 21:05, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
