The Free Press - Front-line Soldiers in the Culture War

 

If you've read my rhymes before than you are well aware

I'm concerned the fabric of our nation's gonna tear.

We're divided into camps who cannot get along;

Each of us convinced the other side has got it wrong.

We can't even seem to all agree on basic facts;

True or false depends on how the president reacts

Which depends on how his friends on FOX report their "news"

Based on some conspiracy as asinine as Q's.

Donald Trump continues to attack the 4th Estate,

Saying they're the reason why America's not great.

He's called them "disgusting...traitors." Claims reports are "fake"

Anytime he doesn't like the news, for heaven's sake!

What about the evidence out there for all to see?

What about objective truth or plain reality?

Hard to spin the cold, hard facts ('though Giuliani tries)

Can't ignore that Donald Trump is telling voters lies.

Yet, somehow, the president has managed to convince

His supporters they should not believe reporters, since

They're all out to get him with their slanderous attack

And he needs true blue Americans to have his back.

So, they all fall in to line and truth's a casualty

In this culture war Trump's launched against a press that's free.

Journalists are patriots.  They're holding down the fort.

They deserve our gratitude and have my full support.

Race for the White House - The Genius of Joe Biden

Rudy Giuliani thinks Joe Biden isn't smart.

I think it's more likely that he only acts the part.

Sometimes, when he's on a roll, he's known to make a gaffe -

Bringing our attention to an issue with a laugh.

Biden holds the second highest office in the land;

Don't become Vice President unless you understand

It's your job to go and kick the hornets' nest because

It would not be Statesman like, at all, if your boss does.

In defense of Biden's point, the Romney/Ryan plan

Seems to favor Wall Street - not so much the common man.

Biden gets an audience whenever he's unchained;

Makes his point indelible...  That isn't scatter-brained.

That, my friends, is genius of the politician's kind.

Wouldn't be surprised at all to find Joe Biden's mind

Works at least 3 times as fast as normal people's do...

Paid some more attention to the issues, haven't you?
