Flipping Through the Channels
By Franklin Price
3/11/2018

Flipping through the channels
On this, time changed, Sunday morn
The network commentators
Politically committing ****

Presenting their agenda
Spouting their one sided view
To degrade  the opposition
To see who they can screw

We participate as voyeurs
Watch the honored guests they slam
The truth is secondary
For the hosts don't give a damn

Asking very pointed questions  
Elicit answers for their side
When not hearing what they want,
Their guests are taken for a ride

Verbal water-boarding
Not below the path they choose
To make their guests look foolish
In presentation of the news

Sunday shows one sided
Commentators rant and rave
Have no doubt that Walter Cronkite
Is spinning over in his grave
