The News Is Not the News

The News is Not the News By Franklin Price 7/18/2015 The news is not the news until the newsmen put their spin to increase their ratings; where oh where do they begin. They try to make each incident appear to shake the earth, go viral on the internet, give another conflict birth. They twist the news to move them to a pro from just a hack. If caught may say they're sorry, are mistaken, take it back. Their income is dependent on the ratings of the day. News doesn't have to be the truth; If you believe in what they say Believe nothing that they tell you And only half of what you see. Verify what they are spouting before climbing up their tree. Let them entertain you as they tell you all they know Check on their slanted view of things, before you believe the show.

Based upon experience I don't trust journalists.
