Description:The Hearst Family Scandals William Randolph Hearst was a man with a titanic personality. He was the great predecessor of Rupert Murdoch and other modern-day media moguls. He built the largest publishing empire in the U.S. from a single San Francisco newspaper. By the 1930s, he controlled twenty-eight newspapers, thirteen magazines, the Cosmopolitan Picture Studio and radio stations. The self-absorbed genius, who was equally addicted to power and possessions, used his media stronghold to not just report the news but in making and manipulating it. But was he also a murderer? In 1974, over twenty years after his death, William’s granddaughter Patty Hearst, heiress to the Hearst family fortune, was kidnapped by a group of self-styled revolutionaries. The kidnapping shocked the country, but just two months later, in a totally unexpected twist, the nation was stunned when Patty announced on an audiotape that she had joined the group in their fight to free the oppressed and denounced her parents as "pigs." Shortly afterwards Patty appeared in the frames of a surveillance video, holding a rifle and yelling commands at customers as she and her captors robbed a bank. During the robbery two men who entered the bank while the raid was taking place were shot and wounded. She was no longer regarded as a victim by the FBI; instead she became a member of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List and one of the country’s most notorious fugitives. When she was caught in 1975, Patty gave her occupation as an "Urban Guerilla." Was she? Or was she suffering from Stockholm syndrome, or been brainwashed?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
