I used to enjoy some of the sunday morning shows. Now they only make me angry.

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
