Famous Tv Channel

A Famous TV Station 

She has the bland face of a Fox newscaster, not a hair
out of place; yes, and shapely legs too. Faithfully she
repeats the station’s political opinion, not a word out of 
place. The male commentators are even worse as they 
try to look intellectual, lies through their teeth but they
are well paid and careful of having an original thought
under their coiffeur heads. Like actors, in a Technicolor, 
Cary Grant movie of middle class USA, a mono culture 
that never existed. Voracious meat eaters with gigantic 
white teeth which sparkle under studio light as fake pearls.
Yet for millions of viewers this is where they seek the news
and think they are served the truth. Is this what is called 
the great American dream?
