Go Figure

  
    Media-produced wars
       won’t let good defeat evil

     Media coverage of arrests
       never lets the fuzz do their jobs

     Media-coverage of politicians
        portrays the decent ones as snobs

    We go to great lengths to protect the First Amendment
        but its implementation doesn't protect us
