What A Funny Farm the Media Is

What A Funny Farm the Media Is

A Poem by Prometheus
"

mainly venting.

"
Newscasters?  No.  I see cowards,
Cloaked in clergy robes with heavy golden crosses,
Swinging from their hanging heads.

They strut their stinking guts like slaughtered swine,
Guts from which you feed
From which they bleed
LIES, LIES, AND ONLY LIES.

AND! you devour them, hungrily,
Desperate for a satisfaction you know you’ll never reach,
And their insides poison yours
And poison you
And poison you

So you vomit any nourishment you had
And down your throat and through your veins
Runs the muck they’ve fed you,
Runs the gunk the farmers bred for you.

And who’s to blame?
US,

Because we didn’t turn the switch
On these cold and calculated crude machines,

These pigs,

These farmers,

This whole f*****g farm,

And it’s OUR fault
That it’s amassed
Such a giant population.

Also, I know they aren't directly related, but the amount of hate these horrible people have spewed is unbelievable and is saying "IT'S OK TO BE VIOLENT WITH PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU POLITICALLY." "IT'S OK TO DEGRADE SOMEONE FOR BELIEVING DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU DO." and overall just a general "IT'S OK TO BE A SELF-RIGHTEOUS POMPOUS PRICK IF YOU THINK YOU'RE RIGHT."

To be realistic, it was the individual's fault and FOX News cannot be held 100% accountable. It doesn't control people. HOWEVER, it does brainwash them, or permit them to forget that everyone around them is human and should not be annihilated just because their opinions differ - or, teach people, that using politics as an outlet for psychosis and rage is A-OK.

I hate popular media! they make us swallow whatever steaming load suits them at the time. Jurnalistic integrity can get a journalist fired these days.

everything is terribly contrived in media~ to distract us from the actual horrors we've wrought and allowed to be wrought by our laziness as a society~

journalism has been replaced by sensationalism ~ there are no facts to be believed in the media. it is all he said, she said Bull S@#* ~ hey that reminds me of a song .. 'Just give me something to break ..."
