The Synchronized Dumbing Down of America

Sit back, relax Everything will be fine Enjoy what you see on T.V. Forget the daily grind We're here so you'll feel better Make it all alright Use the slightest bit of truth We do it all the time No need to concern yourself With the government's affairs What you don't know want hurt you If your left unaware We'll tell you who it is you are And what it is that you should think Don't pay attention to the other guy He ain't like you and me What he says is mumbo jumbo Not like the elite that are in the know He'll upset the apple cart If you let him take control So hold on tightly to your chains You're in for the ride of your life Who's going to pay for this loony trip It'll come out of your hide There's no need to concern yourself With the government's affairs What you don't know want hurt you If your left unaware...

It has a lot of names and none are flattering. I never watch news on the TV except for the BBC and Asia Today. Nice write Mike!
