ignorance noir (cable news' secret mission)

o ignorance!  femme fatale!

what delectable morsels of knowledge
have thee denied me in my times of

hunger?  what treasures sought have thy cloak
   hidden from my inquisitive eye?

what dark implement do thee
intend to smother me with to-day!?
my search for enlightenment,
    blinded by thy befuddlement.

thy entertaining banter shrouds
information's importance.
   lo!  the imperceptible, ignored ticker below.

when will thy tenebrous terrors cease!?
