Propaganda

Media propaganda burns the mind with lies Literally brainwashing the way you think Even a therapist calls it hypnosis, many they hypnotize The corrupt information spewed, surely does stink! Do yourself a favor, research for truth out there Find documents, witness interviews, things undeniable It may save your life, it' can be found, it is somewhere Because, only the truth will be sustainable! It may be easier to go along with what you are told By listening all the time, as if everything is true But all I can say in this important rhyme Is by choosing to do this, it can fully derail you Heidi Sands 12/2/21

Mass media milks the unknowledgeable via tactical lure towards biased political power and their monetary profiting. At times, I'm not really involved -- just enjoying a "poke" or two! I had fun, Heidi, thanks aplenty my friend, Aloha!

Frankly, I've just stopped following everything at this point. Fed up altogether, I guess.

Certainly the news media does this. Never believe a politician and choose your friends wisely. You are so right in what you poetically tell us in this wonderful write, if you choose to believe all of what people say it is true, it can derail you. Well penned dear Heidi. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

That is correct. It is not journalists who work in the mainstream press; instead, it is activists. They post to sell their goods or to promote themselves. Heidi, you've written an excellent piece.

Like China and Russia, the USA government is of the PARTY, by the PARTY, and for the PARTY, which control media advertisers which control the media, so - like the Chinese and Russians - Americans really must heed the foreign press to catch a glimmer of what is really happening in their own country! Well caught and scribed, Heidi!

Very true indeed. The mainstream media are not journalists, they are activists. We have activist judges, activist teachers, activist celebrities etc who espouse one world view. A very self-righteous condescending woke orthodoxy that the silent majority are getting tired of.

" research for truth out there" - wouldn't that be something? But wait, what if truth disagreed with us? Then does it become false truth or alternative facts? Ha! I wish this would open some eyes. Great poem.

I close my ears to so much.. They just publish to sell their product or themselves. Good write, Heidi
