Scott Pelley and 60 Minutes had a beef
and yep, got fired by his Editor-in-Chief.
Rightly you must choose
either real or fake news
and that’s why no more Scott is a relief!
He will get a gig at CNN or BS NOW
and be a martyr and holier-than-thou.
And in clear bias express
his freedom of the press
along with Joe ‘n Mika and Mad Cow!

They (the Legacy media) persist in their use of deceptive practices with the intent to obfuscate what is true. They conveniently avoid facts, that are known, intending to mislead those who are superficially engaged.
The freedoms granted to the media by our constitution, as intended, was for the protection of the masses against rogue governments and or political abuses.
However principled the intentions of our forefathers in granting this freedom of the press, they would most certainly be appalled by the ongoing, intentional distorting of what is true, and what is currently being disseminated to the public by the majority of legacy media.
Today's abundance of available media sources, for those who seek what's true, only adds to the confusion and mistrust of this information. The media's use of their platforms to promote an agenda, or for the purpose of propaganda to benefit a political party or political outcome, is exactly why we are no longer,
(United States)!
If we say only a white male is ok,
Have we violated the law in someway?
What if we say the opposite?
Only a black female fits the requisite.
Do you now consider,
Ihre papiere, bitte
The proper way
In the USA
Here's something to think about.
If you google "lies about"
And the page of results is all "lies by",
Has google just told a lie?
Why is freedom of the press,
For so many a one way address?
The constant clamor to suppress
Opposing views that are confessed.
Is it just a bad dream,
Or has Machiavelli become mainstream?
At least to me it seems
Too many are fine with the ends justifying the means!
Founding fathers believed in freedom of the press, religion, speech, assembly, and petition.
Opportunity must be opened to all.
United we stand and divided we fall.
Religious establishment by the government is prohibited.
Trial by jury is a constitutional right; taxation without representation is not.
High crimes and misdemeanors by the president are impeachable offenses.
Oligarchies(Rulership by 'the few') in America must never be allowed.
Freedom is not really free; it always cost us something.
Justice delayed is justice denied.*
Union of 50 states makes up The USA.
Liberty and Justice in America are for all.
Yielding to the will of the majority is the American way.
062220PS*Wilkipedia. Origin. There are conflicting accounts of who
first noted the phrase.#89 in Top 100 poems for the last month.
The word smiths are the poets and the writers.
Sometimes they make your days even brighter.
All because they can make your daily loads seem lighter.
Yes the word smiths can either make you laugh, and smile.
They can even succeed in making you cry.
Causing salty tear drops to freely flow from your
sorrow laden eyes.
They can make your problems seem to almost magically
disappear. By seeing their own reflections in your mirror.
They know your suffering and your inner most pain.
Doing their very best to explain the game of life to others
such as you.
The word smiths seek to inform and enlighten you
according to their own particular views and mind sets.
Often they look at the whole wide wonderful world
we live in with "rose colored glasses." By seeking
enlightenment for the media's masses.
The word smiths of this blue planet earth we fondly
refer to as our home. Would be completely lost
without their fellow readers and writers.
Where else would they have to offer for inspiration?
Is it sad there is not freedom of the press in
every nation?
Love as always,

Constitution Does Contain
About many things we all may preach
First one of them is Freedom of Speech
And instead of others trying to impress
We also will have Freedom of The Press.
Freedom of Religion is right to believe
Have spiritual feeling we want to receive
In church being few or part of a throng
Supporting our faith by singing a song.
There is having a right to bear an arm
Alright when others we will not harm
And top me it does not seem strange
People who do shoot on a firing range.
There are many more I may mention
Among the ranks having no dissension;
Bill of Rights is where freedoms remain
All of these Constitution does contain.

The Media
By Franklin Price
12/13/2015
The media is so confused
About the part they play
They're no longer just reporting
They love to hear the words they say
Their reporting mostly biased
By the things that they believe
Or encouraged by the powers
And the money they receive
Much like the politicians
On the ones which they report
At times they show no thinking
What they say is just retort
They twist the truth quite thoughtlessly
Bring forth the way they feel
The freedom of the press for them
Is not an honest deal
If you want to get the truth
The truth is what you'll get
Just look at any posting
By friends on the internet
Don't contact and yell at me
I'm only having fun
Not serious like the media
Who have only just begun
THE NIGERIAN DREAM 9
Hope and faith for The masses
Recreation of. Liberty and freedom
Long life and prosperity in future
Smiling birds with songs of Praises
Clothed children with Assured future.
THE NIGERIAN DREAM 10
Freedom of the Press as a watchdog
Freedom of speech and freedom after speech
Freedom of movement to recreate and renew
Freedom among the poor and The voiceless
Freedom of choice and peace for all
THE NIGERIAN DREAM 11
Power supply And good atmosphere
Table for all, love and unity
Unity in cultural Diversity
World class citizen, world class Nation
THE NIGERIAN DREAM 12
Faithfulness among the leaders
Drive to maintain harmony
To satisfy the masses of their quest for goodness
Humbleness not as crafty as the fox.
There we climb Above the ground
To recreate excellent spirit of the tradition.
Freedom of the Press
The hallowed freedom of the press
In the west
Doesn’t sit well in the east
when Islam is made fun of.
So leave them alone to worship
Allah their way,
Millions of backsides exposed
to an ignorant world.
We can make fun of the Germans,
the frog and sex mad Swedes
We laugh and giggle
until someone gets up and
hit the offender for going too far.
when saying someone’s mother
is a ****
Great democracy the elite tells us,
but do not go too far
and never make fun of a Jew.
If we were tomorrow’s headline
would we be missing lovers
reported as lost without a trace
or simply declared guilty
by the court of hearts and souls
traitors to the quest of love
have our stories to each other
simply become yesterday’s news
like day old doughnuts
cheaper by the dozen
there was a time my love
when we planned our very lives
on paper napkins
dreams were all that we could afford
the promise of fame and fortune mere gossip
every sunrise a fresh new edition
