THE MEDIA HAS FAILED US (COVID MEMORIES)

Like a hound dog

They sniff out “reality”

Fed to them

By the politico-medico elite

Snapping to attention at their every word

Run and run for those vaccination jabs

Saviour of humanity

Or

Mindless blobs

Anti-vaxxers ignored

Or contrarian views

Never much time

To contest

Given that your advertising revenue depends on Big Pharma

Lowlife deceivers

“may cause fainting, dizziness, lung cancer and embolisms”

CNN and most others funded by Big Pharma meaning

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you

Oxi, fentanyl

Until it is time to run for cover

Safer to praise “the front-line heroes”  never paid decent wages

But save that story for another “special”

Are you really on our side

Or the preference to guard the sources of your adverting revenue

I often wonder about your integrity akin to cow manure
