Reporting opinions which fire up biases is wrong. If the truth leads that way, it should be reported.

Jumping to Conclusions (my reponse to the reporting of the latest Synagogue attack in Poway, CA) By Franklin Price 4/28/2019 Jumping to conclusions Is the mantra of the day And hating one another Is the dark that leads the way Journalism takes advantage Of the biases we feel To control our ways of thinking So we play the cards they deal Religious or political Nationality or creed Sexuality or Racial Are some biases they feed Christians hate the Muslims Muslims hate the Jews The Parties hate each other All of these are in the news Depending who you listen to As you follow all the news I would bet they think as you do And support your biased views Things will not get better 'Til we open up our minds And listen to the other side With our heads from our behinds Jumping to conclusions Is not the way to go The truth should be reported Not the biases we know
