Emile Pinet Poet Verse

Main Street News

Main street news
        dilutes real
            news through                
designed debates,
        analyzing all            
            points of view;
but that's
        not news; that'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
            mere debating clubs
and reality shows;
        that
            push propaganda.

Christuraj Alex July 11, 2023 at 2:47 AM "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! Emile Pinet July 11, 2023 at 7:11 AM Thanks, Christuraj; the world is in a hurting place...I appreciate your comments, my friend, Emile.
