Media (Medium)

Media by the old Webster's New Collegiate;
Medium, middle-of-the-road, intermediate;
Our duty, to report the news as we see it;

No longer gentlepersons, some in Bowlers;
Coming on like a pack of steamrollers;

Purveyors of current vendettas;
Contrite with hidden agendas;

Reporters of the current mess;
Formerly called the press;
Oh how they love to digress;
While digging dirt on congress;

Sight, sound, all senses offended;
Reports of current events upended;

The current war with anchor people on TV;
Our latest secrets, film at 11, channel three;

Spreading despicable ideas a Typhoid Mary;
Guns, knives, and bombs students now carry;

Constitutional rights, ratings, and market share;
In the face of national security, going where?

What happened to journalistic discretion?
Replaced by journalistic desecration?

Our information sources have been tainted;
By profit-seeking corporations waiting to be sainted;

Biased against news engineering, I know;
Count me against the status quo.
