Notes About The Poem
Don't believe any of what you hear, read or see in this day of computer substitution and blatantly self serving news reporting. Check it out, or at least beware.

Truth In News

Truth in News
By Franklin Price

Truth in  news
It would appear
Is often clouded
Not so clear

Reporters lean
To left or right
To tilt the reader
Win the fight

Sometimes they
May even lie
Make you laugh
Or make you cry

Check the facts
Check all the news
The truth is there
For you to choose

 The First Amendent
Freed the press
Gave them the voice
To make this mess
