Fake News! Redux

Here we are again
The Deep State’s propaganda machine
Called out for doing what they do best;
Lying, omitting, disinforming, twisting the facts
To delude the masses, or at least half of them.

Why is it called fake?
Because story after story
Have been debunked as the official hoax
They always were,
And which they were awarded Pulitzers for
And never gave back. Nor ever will.

Story after story
Churns up this swamp, repackaging it
As pure mountain spring water,
Damaging the whole market for news.

What is there to even believe these days?
Who knows, but certainly not
What the Lamestream Legacy Media tells US.
And tries so hard to sell you, again.
