Hannity

H  ave a shot at telling the truth, for a change, 
A  nd see if it improves your viewership range. 
N ot that it won’t take time for folks to recalibrate; 
N ot many will find immediate cause to celebrate. 
I   t’s difficult to recover from a history of lies, 
T  here’s a world of difference for him who tries.  
Y  ou might turn the page and bring FOX a prize.

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/1/2021 10:41:00 AM Have you ever noticed that Hannity (almost) rhymes with inanity. Something there, I think... I actually used to be -- emphasis on used to be -- a Dennis Prager fan. He too has turned into an apologist for Trump's foibles and flaws, and now regularly cuts off callers who don't buy into his views. Sad. Now he's no better than Oprah, the queen of 'cutter-offers.' lol. Oh, well... Much Ado About Nothing, really. Talk is (and never was) cheap(er). Take care, Milt. Cheers, Gershon Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 4/1/2021 11:04:00 AM So true, Gershon. Don't know this Prager guy, at all. Thanks for your visit, read, and wise observations. You and I might not always agree, but I listen very carefully to what you say. You are a wise and thoughtful man, Gershon.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/31/2021 7:57:00 PM I do not even know who he is, but now I do not like him. I hope that is okay. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/31/2021 8:04:00 PM He's a talking head, bloviator on FOX News. I see Maurice doesn't like him either!

Maurice Rigoler Date: 3/29/2021 6:32:00 PM Can't stand the man or Fox News. Like the acrostic, however. Great flow with a nice bounce to it. You've made it challenging as well by rhyming it. Great job. / Maurice Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/29/2021 6:37:00 PM Thanks, Maurice. My sentiments exactly! Have a terrific week.

Judy Ball Date: 3/27/2021 8:43:00 AM Excellent Milton. Always liked Hannity. Great job. God Bless, JB Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/27/2021 11:07:00 AM Thanks for the read, JB.

J. Summers Date: 3/27/2021 6:04:00 AM How I miss the days of Walter Cronkite. One of the problems as I see it are that newscasters are no longer journalists, they’ve become entertainers. Enjoyed the poem. John Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/27/2021 8:27:00 AM Thanks for your comment, John. I agree with you 100%! I, too, miss those good ol' days when you could really find out what is going on in the world without any accompanying commentary or slant.

Michael Ellis Date: 3/26/2021 10:02:00 PM Laughed as soon as soon as I saw the title. Oh my that guy...Its like he has a Fox data chip inside him, so programmed. News is becoming comedy these days. Who can resist an acrostic these days.. Simply fun and delightful appetizing expression...I shall wait for more Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/27/2021 8:26:00 AM Hi Michael. Thanks for your comment. I have a few more up my sleeve, but I don't write many acrostics, as a general rule. I couldn't resist this one! Thanks, again.

Michelle Faulkner Date: 3/26/2021 9:00:00 PM Sadly, Fox (and other so called news outlets) care more about ratings than reality~ Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/26/2021 9:06:00 PM There's a lot of truth in what you say, Michelle. I'm having more and more difficulty with news broadcasts these days, but I still do believe there are many honest, well-meaning journalists out there who really search for the truth.

Sotto Poet Date: 3/26/2021 5:29:00 PM Not many will find immediate cause to celebrate. Excellent poem, Milton, so it's an Acrostic in political verse. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/26/2021 8:08:00 PM Oh, Lasaad, I have no idea. I didn't really know how to classify this one. Maybe I should change it to Acrostic, but I wanted readers to know it was a "political verse," up front, expressing my feelings about the man. I'm anxious to read the comments, if there are any.

Robert Pettit Date: 3/26/2021 5:25:00 PM Nicely written acrostic poem. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/26/2021 8:06:00 PM Thanks, Robert. It's sort of a couplet, political verse, within acrostic...or something like that! I didn't exactly know how to classify it, but I figured the title would tell most of the story! Thanks for your visit, Robert. I appreciate it.
