No News Is Good

No news is good news; the known saying goes
Whether stated in prose, or its meted in rhyme
That's the outlook it seems the eu's  designed 
Whether covid or conflict, they play the same way
There's no voice of dissention, allowed; it's all bad
Yet they're in control of its outflow, and in general
That's sad'  Maybe RT was biased? to a certain extent'
Yet people did watch, and so adjudge; on its bents
I could always turn it off though; and often I did'
I didn't need a big brother, with volumes of kid'
So they believe the known saying then..)
(No news is good news) yet straighten their ties
Slap on greasepaint; and polish their shoes'
Then feed out, even more jollop
To you'se; thats no lies'

Agreed to a point Komal yet It's no good pushing the Physical to no good End..? Like if you have 3 only gallons in your car, why drive at a fast Pace so you get along quick Yet fall 15 miles short on your Destination place.? That's how The world has always seemed To be to me.' Thanks for reading.'

Thanks for the positive input Andrea.) I see the way people Still think the 'western press's is mostly for fairness' yet this Is not ww 2 that was almost two lifetimes ago the institutions have In most cases been bought out I Suppose some find comfort In the same mindset of who to beleive.' Yet I see it now as When people get trapped in an abusive relationship If they can Find the courage to change the situation or get out.' That's When betterment can be achieved.'
