Lands of Glory

Every news media captures horrendous photos with a story
Where has our pride gone as we praise these Lands of Glory 
Is it possible that media ratings have well surpassed the truth 
Where anything goes right or wrong regardless of the proof

===================================
Every time I turn on my computer or TV there is NEVER anything
decent to be said whether it's slamming a candidate or someone 
misspoke instant persecution begins-never ends and I'm tired of it!

If you think the news is bad, try reading the comments section. I lose a little more faith in humanity every time I make that mistake.

I think 'perhaps' you are trying to say that you lose brain cells!

I don't blame you Judy. We need an optimist news channel!

Absolutely correct. I think we all share your disgust. I, for one, do not look forward to the next 15 months of mud-slinging. But there are a few on TV who spotlight one of America's heroes in their news program. Diane Sawyer did, and now David Muir does. Steve Harvey also spotlights and honors people who help others.
