Stanley Cooper - Media Delusions

Our media fixation
Portends our inclination
To believe mis-information
That they pound us with

This propoganda agitation
Might lead to our damnation
It's immoral aberration
That they hound us with

The extremists left and right
With propoganda they incite
To keep us all up-tight
Masquerading as profound

They never sound contrite
As each alleges to be right
Poised and ready for a fight
Never finding neutral ground

With their overblown perspective
They're defectively deceptive
Spouting insolent invective
They induce abject confusion

To be electively effective
They're affectively selective
To perplex is their objective
So be-wary of conclusions

Stanley Cooper
