quote: n the classic Pierce Brosnan Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, the bad guy is a newspaper mogul trying to make the United States go to war so he can sell more newspapers. That sounded ridiculous 25 years ago

Not so ridiculous- See William Randolph Hearst: “You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war” is a famous, but false, quote attributed to William Randolph Hearst. The quote is often used to describe Hearst's role in the Spanish-American War.
