We hear a lot of grumbling from major politicians
About news that they consider promoting false positions.
“Fake news”, they are all bleating. It really makes me laugh!
When they renege on promises they blame it on their staff!
Or else they claim reporters have twisted what they said
Funny that they now believe the opposite instead!
Did they refute quotations before they got elected?
Funny how their memories are always self-selected!
Fake news has been around us since moguls ran the press
Is it any wonder the world is in a mess!
Media channels promulgate the things that fit their views
And they have never really cared how accurate the news!
Look who pays the wages of the media you follow
For you can bet it is their view, as in their stys they wallow!
Being a big sceptic could be my major fault
For I take every item with a great big pinch of salt!
But spare me politicians who claim it is unfair
When there’s something they don’t like broadcast on the air!
