Journalist
        report today's
            news through                
endless debates,
        analyzing all            
            points of view;
but that's
        not news; it's
            fake news;
that fuels
        extremists,
            while raising ratings;
as competing stations
        spin
            alternative truths.
Today's main
        stream media
            stations
filter their news,
        to attract viewers,
            reluctant
to stick
        with the facts.
            The news
channels have
        morphed into
            entertainment hubs
and reality shows;
        that
            spread propaganda.

"entertainment hubs and reality shows, that serve little purpose" - Indeed, fake news and entertainments are what we are getting in Indian mainstream channels too. Social Media is better. Beautiful work. Congratulations!
