Do you mean that they are fold as if they were sheets? I think newspaper are too big to read them in a comfortable way, it's better to read them on a table (and it's not always possible). But I've never seen a fold newspaper, it must be very difficult to read. :( :)

¿No te hagas ilusiones? :thinking: That's what wordreference says (I didn't know), but maybe in this context I'd say "no creas". :)

Do you think so? Nowadays it's easier to change from one social class to another (money gives you this possibility). :)

This must be just AmE because it isn't BrE.

I think I have ever read or listened "yellow press". Surely "prensa amarilla" is a literal translation. :thinking:

Read the history of the yellow press. I am contrary to what you may have
originally thought, I am proud to say that I have not invented the practice
and term

Could it be possible that the Spanish expression actually derives from the New York one? Or the other way round? :thinking:

Era William Randolph Hearst

I misse that bit:

Which kind of suggests that the Spanish expression is derived from the English. That's interesting. :)

Pues se ve que sí. :)

Duh - I never thought to look at the Spanish version. :rolleyes:

I'd say the same, but in English.
