Dish It

Oh, they love to spin it.
On prime time and live.
And lie by omission.
Hidden agenda, which side
A new Special Edition
will come on at nine.
Oh, they love to spin it.
Nights in prime time.

Don't care about that.
it's not a news flash.
Get the new body count.
With numbers to flout.
Give us a huge tragedy.
And fly our copter out.
Land there on the scene
Where viewers see them bleed.

Oh, they love to Dish It.
each day at noon.
You know it's a lie.
They all swear it's true.
Given enough time.
We'll Convince the fools.
Oh, they love to dish it.
Scoop stew at noon.

Yes, H.E. They do most definitely like to "spin it" I quit watching it years ago. I really enjoyed reading your opinions and thoughts this morning. Have a great day:)
