Change the Names and Dates

Not all of us lead lives of misery and deep despair I don't and never intend to... As for the troubles of the age Just change the names the dates and the places Then plug any other age into what's branded as 'news' For the news and the newsies both get old Their only care ~ How many copies sold

The "news" is no longer news, it is a bunch of fabrication, with no facts checked. Sadly. Maybe it is why we have "newsies" - fringelined news?

Very true, and it's not really news very often. Just a lot of opinion and propaganda. IMHO :-) Thanks for sharing, Bill
