Mrs. Media

When citizen crimes decrease she tends to increase
Mrs. Media becomes obese in feeding you her piece
She wants you to fear
Because if you weren’t afraid she might shed a tear
And you might recognize her breast fed lies that she’s supplied 
You might question the government’s depravity
Or read a book and realize America has a seious cavity
Created by sweet lies, decriminalized by the authority
How could this happen, well majority were focused on priority
Ms. Media told them how to live, how to give, and what to say
Told them what issues were important and a cavity was least of worries throughout the day
No one question Mrs. Media they all just said ok
Now look were all the robots stand today

The people: “Mrs. Media say it ain’t so?”
Mrs. Media: “shut up, watch tv, and believe, I run things now”
The people: “ok"

James, although I was a reporter for many years, I know exactly what you mean. This great poem is reminiscent of Don Henley's song, "Dirty Laundry." I was a broadcaster when it came out, but ironically all of the members of the Capital Press Corps loved it! Thanks for you kind words on "Into the Weeds." Best wishes, Carolyn

I could not agree more! The media makes me sick, with their fear-mongering, where is all the GOOD, positive news??? It's there, they just choose to not report it - good news has become boring, sick really. well said, love, Kristin
