Muckraker (Upton Sinclair)  =**Upton Sinclair was a Muckraker which is a name given to the first American writers in the early 20th century who exposed corruption and scandals in business and politics. Upton Sinclair wrote a book the “The Jungle”. One part of the story told them how dead rats were put in shoveled into sausage grinding machines. He also wrote how cow’s guts and filth were taken off the floor and put in a box and shipped as potted ham. Upton Sinclair wanted people to be vegetarians. So when the people read the book they would think that it was very gross. Will Signor and Joe Speelmen **= 9.) Yellow Journalist (Hearst, Pulitzer)
