Fake news indeed:
Is this a fox in the hen-house or a hoax in the fun-house ? It’s news to them that it’s views from us. Weaning ourselves tit-for-tat while we wet-nurse the networks net-worth, they pull the wool over their own press-cards, spinning yarns fit to knit a seamless weave of tailored narrative (free alterations post-laundering, free press with dry-cleaning). Ironing out the irony, the ship of state suddenly mixes metaphors: it’s a freak gyre of Greek fire: leak-proof talking points for caulking joints on a sinking vessel, a showboat floating fake liars, gloating, into lakes of fire. Let us light a naked fuse to the faked news until their networks ignite like an information overload. Fake news indeed. News to me… now watch them form a phalanx as we farm the faux links:
Bare and Phalanxed
Presenting spin in HD hues,
bankrolled by conglomerates,
the vapid visual dominates
The Lip-Glossed Bimbo Network News.
Eschewing all the old taboos:
a mouthpiece for the metro-queer.
The Antichrist will soon appear
on lip-glossed bimbo network news.
Regardless of what next ensues
they alter every breaking story
(gearing up for something gory).
Attacks and tragedies amuse;
they never miss their prime-time cues,
those pert disinformation crews:
the lip-glossed bimbo network news.
Wherever a teapot tempest brews
they’re on the feed—it’s Live at 10;
they edit out the Truth and then
homogenize conflicting views.
Sedated viewers now can choose
what semi-informed tele-snooze
they wish to see or heed or use.
Water, water, everywhere…
a thousand channels on the air
but precious little left to lose.
It’s fair and balanced. On the brink
between PC and global-think.
It’s news for nimrods: PRAVDA-lite
the babel of descending night
now veils the flat-screen universe
MSNBC gets worse
unable to reverse the curse
of lip-glossed bimbo network news.
A bare and phalanxed fascist fox!
Liberals thus depict their foe;
(she’s barely right of center, though…
yet still they’re having hissy fits
while staring at her cleavage.) It’s
enough to make them blow their fuse –
forget diversity of views !
The offer no one can refuse
is lip-glossed bimbo network news.

LOL! Well said.
I read a good one today, total rubbish from the Washington Post. I can’t even remember what it said, but so bogus and full of bias I was kind of stunned. Totally fake news.

Just heard this name for the first time today:
The Washington COMpost ! ☺
XP over at Praetorian Writer’s Group was calling NPR “fake news” LONG before this became their current talking-point. All Things Considered always has to drag out one more predictable story on transgender/racism/feminism/white privilege/hispano/social-justice/global warming,etc. (yawn/retch)
Thanks for reading IB.

Talking heads with frosted hair,
chanting mantras on the screen,
lulling viewers into dreams.
You nod your head, you’re not aware;
mouthing slogans, you don’t think
who put those lies and nonsense there.
Drink that Koolaid, drink.
It’s the Matrix; you’re enslaved.
You’re just a puppet in a cage.
Enjoy your comfy, blue pill sleep,
but what we sow, one day we reap.

My mom watches MSN every morning and questions absolutely none of it.
NPR was the background noise of my entire youth.
Good verse, Scarlet.
(It’s time for a reaping!)
