The Media

Reporting the news has changed so much from the past I cannot even remember when I heard a good news story It started out years ago slow, but has it ever grown I wonder how long this type of thing will last? They say that it sells, blood, guts and all the gory Is that really the reason, if the truth was really known Graved diggers they are, they are digging graves deep Showing "dirty laundry", in hopes that it will never come clean Reporting the rotten, no more than a scandal sheet Make an innocent person guilty, so they will never sleep Twisting word, so they do not sound mean But like hungry dogs fighting over a piece of meat Freedom of speech, a right that we should all hold dear Freedom of the press, to inform the public, not to destroy Journalism with integrity, the ways that it used to be To make facts available, not every effort to smear To read in the morning, sit and enjoy While we still have this freedom and are still free A right that should be used, not abused Or something that government want you to say, because it is politically correct Something that makes common sense, not cause mass hysteria So that all can understand, not be confused One day this right could be taken away, we cannot forget This what I think that we need in our media
