Ginned Up!A Poem by Michael StevensThe crap that passes for news today!![]() Sensational headlines screaming
down the wires, doing all they can do to stoke
those controversy fires.
It matters not if something true
blue or red rot. It's all about how much advertising
time is bought,
not to mention the skewered perception
of a person. No, ratings Trump accuracy, if it titillates, the story runs.
Nothing's too much to air, no such
thing as restraint. No tip of the cap to
yesteryear--Walter Cronkite this ain't!
They just want to stir it up, not
worried about whether it's fair. So, open some chips, open a beer,
and kick back in your easy chair,
to watch the greatest spectacle on
your television screen. this baby's got everything, fear,
sex, anger, and everything in between!
