Notes About The Poem

Omission

Odd character that smacks God’s right hand.
Miserable wretches - the media
Is underhanded.
Spits in the wind; truth is
Suspect…fallacious videos, omissions
Itinerant…on the cutting floor.
Obama speaks —
No one hears his piece.

I do not watch it either; too negative for me.

Kim, you said it perfectly. I don't give a damn about the news. According to headline-grabbing blatant propaganda, harsh reality sells more than positive news most of the time.

I take with a pinch of salt anything the media pumps out, its all headline grabbing fake news a lot of the time, bad news sells, good news doesn't. Tom

Can't say I follow US politics. But I agree that the media is corrupt. Hugs.
