When Journalism Fails To Deliver

When journalism fails to deliver the facts, And no longer apologies for shameful acts, Constantly ending up on the wrong tracks, Failing to prevent shark attracts, On those who suffer from panic attacks, More interested in becoming political hacks, Papering over the cracks, And roasting words on racks, All to fill the owners money sacks, Is it not time we turned our backs, And return to our shacks, To give our children what journalism lacks.
