The Newses Confuses

by jim vecchio

There is only one version of Truth
Anything contrary is a lie
But there are flavors of all untruths
Each distasteful and all venomous

In the parlor they all come and go
watching the news channels they prefer
To assist in forming decisions
They do assert their own opinions

Opinions which do shape viewers’ minds
Closing them to know Truth, or to search
For there are flavors of all untruths
Each distasteful and all venomous

On and on TV news will teach them
To look and hear but not ever think
Assisting in forming decisions
As they assert their own opinions
