Facts Do Not Mean Anything To Media

Channel Five calls mayoral candidate Goots a bully. He is referred to as the AntiChrist on Channel Three Someone on the air yells “liar, liar, pants on fire.” This is the best news we find on our 2023 TV. Channel 9 brings in an alert. with a gasp and a shout. Stay away from your windows, a shooter is out. The news anchor of NBC2 is lying on the sidewalk, laid out. She has probably been shot, is there any doubt? Hello worldly watchers, welcome to American TV Where the lies are plenty, and carnage is brutally carefree Facts don’t mean anything to our anchors any more. You can purchase alternative facts at the store next door. The hillbillies in the south only listen to their one station. They don’t even bother with news when on vacation. The haughtiest rich ones in the north don’t believe anything at all. A shooter? No worries. There will be more in the fall. Besides, it might be a rumor. We like to throw stuff up quick. buying into rumors, lies, and gossip, we Americans lay it on thick. Chet Huntley and David Brinkley would have a huge fit. If they could hear what comes out of the normal TV anchor nitwit.

I think you have covered the facts quite well in this one.
