Fox Fact-Free News LandA Poem by Michael StevensJust my opinion![]() There is a land were wishes are
true, even when they're not, a land where untrue innuendo is
preached, and taught.
It is a land where it's open season
for hunting and killing facts. It is a land where people only
believe what they want, and tact
is non-existent, and bold-face lies
are simply believed as true, a land that longs for the good old
days of 1652.
A land where scientific truths are
mocked and ridiculed, where higher learning is ripped as
being somehow un-cool.
The kings of this land look down
from their ivory towers, and are selling us fear, with some
real whoppers,
which their subjects believe,
readily, because they're desperate to--for them, news from this land
goes unquestioned, and is a habit
formed over years of subtly, or not
so subtly, being brainwashed, the truth is what their kings' say
it is, and all else is squashed,
so that only their version of the
'truth' is presented, and any scientific facts that disagrees
with it, are resented.
Their subjects are defensive and don't
watch anything that disagrees with what they are
told is true, and they cling
stubbornly to that, and the reason they
give as to why the won't, is that everyone else is lying, and
for that reason, they don't
believe anything that doesn't match
up with what they are told, that clash with the fables they are
being sold.
So, how can you reason with people
who don't believe in it? With those who would rather believe
some way-out-there s**t?
