DON’T SCOOP THE POOP<\/p>\n

Say, did you hear the latest scoop?
\nNo need to worry, it’s all just poop.
\nThe news shovels that crap all day,
\nPeddling whatever they want to say.<\/p>\n

Sensationalism always beats out facts,
\nJust watch the wolves grind their axe.
\nThere’s an agenda, it’s plain to see,
\nBeware! They’ll leave you in misery.<\/p>\n

Make a profit, and increase the view,
\nIt does not matter if it’s not true.
\nRaking their victims through the mud,
\nThey’re not happy till they draw blood.<\/p>\n

Champions of justice? No, I think not,
\nWhat they publish is so full of rot.
\nSo if you read it, please sift it well,
\nDon’t let them get you under their spell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
