So many distractions...struggling to put food on the table...they pull the curtains over our eyes...But well observed thou...

The news is just manipulative recycling of bias opinions. I never listen, too depressing. Great write Gershon, these are the kind of poems that need to be out there. Ron :)

I remember a movie(1970's or maybe early 80's) with a man in the tv...talking crazy, post war era... With everyone staring at the screen for the next thing he would say... brainwashed as the silent one said... As for those still awake...save all that you can... speak the truth all that you can give voice too. God bless your days. This is a wonderful write. Captavating! A favorite. Ann

The media just want to brainwash for the their own agenda.. i rarely read or watch the news... do your own research.. best way.. nice one Gershon.

Thank you so much. Agree with 'doing your own research' 100%, as well as your own evaluation(s). Thanks, Silent! Best wishes, Gershon

Humm makes one think! Rumors? I never pay attention to because unless it's that persons story to tell then they should not be trying to tell it! Wow lol did that make sense? Lol ;)

Rumors and whispers aren't worthy paying attention to. You're smart to avoid them! :) Cheers, Gershon

Now news means rumors.. I also gave up listening... News channels will sure lose their credibility in people's mind in short run..

The TV broadcasters ought to speak in whispers, as befits the kind of 'news' they are reporting! Thanks, Jenish! :) Gershon

Hi Gershon, I don’t listen to the news. But I have news reporters in my family. They always call me with “ breaking” news. Like always good write:-) Alexis

'Breaking news' --- probably not worth the interruption... OH, gotta run. There's breaking news about how much Nancy Pelosi's new slippers cost. LOL! Thanks, Alexis! :) Gershon
