...threat to Bertie McCormick's title as No. 1 isolationist publisher of the U.S. was that his cousin Joe Patterson (New York Daily News) threatened to out-McCormick him. Pulling out all the isolationist stops, Cousin Joe and News Chief Editorialist Reuben Maury (who also writes editorials for interventionist Collier's) vied with the Tribune's bitterest, Anglophobe, Roosevelt-hating, gallows-dancing, isolationist editorials, cartoons and news.

Counting papers that demanded some form of more lively aid for Britain, interventionist editorials came out in 65% of the press in the average week. But the weekly percentage fluctuated widely around the average. In the week of May 3, following sharp demand for convoys, interventionist sentiment in the U.S. press skyrocketed to 73%.
