I would really like to see the evening news to being the reporting of the news.

The News By Franklin Price 10/5/2017 The news and not opinion Is what I'd love hear Tell the truth about what's happening Have I made myself quite clear? Don't want to hear, what you may think Or your opinionated views I watch you on the six o';clock To get the daily news Report it like it really is Don't add what you may think I can hear that at the local pub Where you drive me there to drink I really miss the good old days The days of Chet and Dave When Walter told it like it was They did not rant and rave They checked the facts, reported truth The way that they were taught The way that I remember them The ones who were not bought Now I only watch the news To see the left and right Spouting out opinions And continuing their fight CNN throws from the left Fox throws from the right It may go many extra rounds Depending on the night It's all about the ratings And the almighty buck I haven't found a network yet Where reporting doesn't suck
