The Media Presentation
By Franklin Price
10/13/2016

The media presentation of the Clinton and the Trump
Has her as Wonder Woman and he as Forest Gump
Campaigning mostly negative, Republican and Democrat
 Media often taking sides when going to the mat

Trump, for sure, takes most the hits, for media the truth
Is spun with parts omitted to affect the voting booth
Clinton's hit's are different, a Republican dirty ploy
To keep the rightful candidate from her presidential joy

Both treated women badly, Trump uncouth and Clinton Worse
Trump speaking without thinking, Clinton planned derogatory verse
The media presents the Donald as the thoughtless stupid one
As Hillary stood by her man; degrading women for his fun

Trump speaks everything he thinks, for the media never good.
Clinton with private servers did not disclose the things she should.
The FBI said she's okay, if another maybe not
The media went along with that; there's something rotten in the pot

Trump politically a novice, wants America great again
Didn't come from the establishment paid his on way to begin
Clinton's political  experience for thirty years or more
Financed from rich most everywhere, to pay back when  in the door

Hillary's presidential if you're rich and gave a bit
Or  if you are establishment, vote Clinton,  she is it.
Trump's not diplomatic and concerns me quite a lot
 If Hillary's elected, we'll have more years of what we've got

In either case are checks and balances founding fathers to begin
Wrote in the Constitution to never let dictators win
Of course that means incumbents must do all they're supposed to do
 Do we think we can expect that from the establishment we view?
