T.V. Dinner

The fricking media!

A veritable feast awaits my eyes

 

Something to eat that's not made with lies

 

A place to pork out on the news of the day,

 

Where I can fill up on the words they say

 

A wholesome meal, that's good for me

 

Straight-shooting, unvarnished and opinion-free

 

A place that's filling, and not just junk

 

No tuxedo waiters who look down their nose and all that gunk

 

I need something substantial, because believe it or not

 

I'm not here for a news appetizer or dessert and all that rot

 

I actually use my brain; not here for just a snack

 

That's why I watch this full-service news place, it never lacks

 

For real news pieces; no Jenner or Kardashian s**t,

 

Wait a minute, this isn't what I ordered; this is just a bit

 

Of actual, important, relevant news floating on a sea of lightweight stuff,

 

Stuff that has no business on the news; this is just fluff

 

Waiter, take this crap back and bring me the Walter Cronkite Plate,

 

Sure, it may be past due, but at least to that, I can relate!

Well.. it's even worse, now that Jon Stewart's resigning. First Colbert, now him... Aaand there goes the better half of the menu.
