Sometime last year (2022) on his TV news show, Dan Bongino said, “Telling a story is not telling the story.” The wisdom of his reflection on “news” inspired the above piece.
Normal is normal - it is not abnormal Right is not wrong - or logic is terminal Subverting a culture of tolerances and reason, All tyrannies threaten peace and stability. Unreasonable tyrants from belligerent minorities Menace tranquility with total hostility. Up is not down - orange is not black Air is not water - opinion is not fact Using lies to spread a dangerous delusion, With fascist hate speech - bully invective, Political spin spreads fear and confusion; Objective reporting is not politician subjective. Telling a story is not - telling The Story
