I try not to heed news that yells at me that everything is going to ****;
I do, however, read lots of news that leads me to the same conclusion.

Though I do care
how current events impact my fellow Humans,
I wish to form my own genuine opinions
based upon objective information;

Is that really too much to ask?
Seems like it.

Objectivity in Journalism is a dying breed.
Media doesn't like Objectivity anymore;
not since the inhuman atrocities of the Vietnam war
were so enthusiastically televised.

Now it's all sensationalism and demagoguery
and who **** X is ******* this week
and that's how they want it;
for, you see,
we, the People of Earth,
are far too dangerous
with accurate information
and a bit of vested interest
in what happens upon this,
our sole World
our soul World
