It would be nice if journalists and the media reported fully researched and presented articles, not slanted to any party line. If they did, things may change for the better. We the People need honesty and integrity from the media; not opinion.
The USA and Europe By Franklin Price 07/05/2020 Today is Sunday and it's morning And I'm watching Meet the Press As usual it is leaning Toward presenting leftist mess What prompted me to write this Was their latest Covid views How we compare to Europe And their Corona Virus News Comparing to the U.S.A., E.U. Cases have declined Although it has more people I think there's something you may find The E.U. is not one entity It's an economic ploy There are many countries Independence they enjoy Each has its own government For its Covid to report There is no central reason To supply a false retort Is testing on a par with ours? Is there incentive there to lie? Is Covid not discovered Until they're about to die? Has E.U. made Covid political? Are they working to get through? Each country is determining What's the best thing it should do. In the U.S. there's incentive For some monetary gain When diagnosis for the virus Might be caused by other pain May have gone to some center For other predetermined cause Then covid diagnosed once there Should that make us think and pause? I'm not saying all the cases Are either wrong or right But the longer it progresses There is political delight The media still slants the news Reporting on half truths and lies Saying E.U. cases going down While ours are on the rise If we take away incentives That encourage some to lie May find that Covid 19 Will make less, in the U.S., die I'm only just one person Who's concerned for our dominion I think there's truth, I've written here But it's only my opinion If you think I'm onto something Or if you know it's true Pass this along to others Might be something we can do. Report it to your congressmen And Congress Women too Let them know, you know, what's going on It's what your country needs of you
