Just the Facts, Please

If I would be known as an advocate Let it be for what’s just and fair, As I see it, telling it right and straight The truth is not in a lot of hot air! In any case, I would much rather Hear the story from original sources, Unembellished with a lot of blather So, let me rely on my own resources. Opinion is opinion; news is news! Tell me in plain terms what happened Don’t give me any secondhand views, Or try to persuade with a chart, and Insult me with other “expert” points I’m not interested in the sensational, Your network’s biased viewpoints, News should not be confrontational. Tell me who, what, when, and where Work your way from major to minor Tell me the facts and leave it there, For me, the evening news will be finer.
