The Media

The Media
By Franklin Price
12/13/2015

The media is so confused
About the part they play
They're no longer just reporting
They love to hear the words they say

Their reporting mostly biased
By the things that they believe
Or encouraged by the powers
And the money they receive

Much like the politicians
On the ones which they report
At times they show no thinking
What they say is just retort

They twist the truth quite thoughtlessly
Bring forth the way they feel
The freedom of the press for them
Is not an honest deal 

If you want to get the truth
The truth is what you'll get 
Just look at any posting
By friends on the internet

Don't contact and yell at me
I'm only having fun
Not serious like the media
Who have only just begun
