Carl Jent Poet Rhyme

Opinion About News Anchors

Turn on news, want to hear what's real
don't care about politics or how you feel.

Tell me what, where, when, anything that's new
not important what you think or your view.

Reading a prompter emotionally, pretending you care
thinking you're special, got the job because of your hair.

News is reporting facts, not a calculated political spin
let citizens know the truth, instead of paid opinion. 

Traded your soul for money, report anything they say
don't believe you really know, what happened today.

Report facts, let the citizens decide what's wrong
knowledge by the people makes this country strong.

Power, greed and corruption controls every news event
is it not news, reporting where our freedom went?

Carol B. January 13, 2018 at 1:27 PM Just like the weather it changes constantly. I don’t watch much news anymore. It’s far to depressing. Carl Jent January 14, 2018 at 7:12 PM Yes it is depressing. I was watching one day and the poem appeared from my disgust with the way the news is being presented. I try to reads about the news and not watch it much either. Thanks for the comment. Wayne

John Gondolf January 8, 2018 at 12:45 PM Wayne, sounds like your opinion of the news networks is similar to mine. It seems like each network has their own spin and we viewers never know what to believe, but I suppose it's always been that way. John Carl Jent January 8, 2018 at 1:09 PM Thanks for the comment. I write about emotions a lot. I enjoy life and my poems are not about me personally, I put myself in what I feel is a realist point of view. I get a lot of comment hoping I either get better, get off drugs or sadness goes away. I am truly happy, not on drugs and life can not get much better. I must be accomplishing my mission.....lol Carl Jent January 8, 2018 at 1:09 PM Thanks for the comment. I write about emotions a lot.
