Such Audacity!

They sit on their comfy couches

In their stuffy suits and ties

Or their stylish sleeveless dresses,

Expounding pernicious lies.

 

Promoting "purposeful ignorance"

As well as "aggressive stupidity,"

They inadvertently show

Their frightful lack of lucidity.

 

Facts are unimportant.

(The same for credibility?)

Expert manipulators,

They manage with great facility

 

To lead a gullible public

Into their intricate maze

Of wildly spurious claims

And specious reporting malaise.

 

Carefully selected "experts"

Throw in their two cents

While fawning interviewers

Come to their defense.

 

Masters of hypnosis,

They put thinkers to sleep--

The ones caught in their spell

Are led around like sheep.

 

And they have the audacity

To refer to themselves as "news."

That must be part of their strategy--

Their well-crafted ruse.

 

Control the minds of the people

And you will secure great power

To sustain them with propaganda

Hour after hour after hour….
