Fall of the Fourth Estate
Where did all the journalists go,
longtime passing -
Why did objectively reporting the news end,
many years ago -
How did integrity bow to bucks,
gone to job security every one.
Gone the referees, gone the rules,
gone the protection from leaders who fool.
When will they ever learn
When will we ever learn
Where did American professors go,
longtime teaching -
Why did American Greatness atrophy,
tossed out the window at university -
When did elevating truth and integrity
take a dive to conformity.
Gone to controlled, politicized, opinion news,
gone to Big Exec’s checks excused.
If a tree falls in the forest,
Does it make a sound?
If media doesn’t cover events,
Do events even happen?
