CNN - Canard News Network– No Quarter
I
They use black and white fallacy for political gains
Relentlessly assault until no character remains
They twist the truth to serve their crony’s affairs
Fewer groups controlling the decreasing shares
II
In a sea of trivia, principal stories are lost
Diverted facts make us forget at all cost
Propaganda on the menu of the news they spin
Like little clubfoot did in fascist Berlin
III
We have few Princes and Earls today
But we have their equals of the modern day
The wealthy and powerful seek to manage the news
Hide truth behind madness while employing a ruse
IV
Using smug Ginny reporters from the empire state
Who rode daddy’s coat-tails just like a skate
Their Bad news sells, their truth is distorted
Their fake news trumps important issues not reported
Chorus:
CNN, where fake news is reported
Where lies are real and truth is distorted
CNN, no longer a news foundation
It’s where fake news got its reputation

A fine commentary on the sorry state of slanted, biased 'news' reporting these days, from all sources. Well expressed, NQ!
Louis, Thank you for the kind words. The whole country is a mess and i feel it is getting divided. It is really hard for an American to get unbiased news today. Everyone has an agenda. Did you catch the line about Chris Como?
I missed it. Which was it?
Did you all catch the swipe at Chris Cuomo?
If you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth, that is what they are counting on.
You are so right brother. They find something that fits their agenda and repeat it over and over knowing it's a lie, but it gets a lot of attention. When they finally have to retract it, the retraction get just a fraction of the attention the lie got. It is so hard for the average American to get an unbiased news report.
Absolutely!
The line where is says about using a smug reporter from the empire state who rode his daddy's coat-tail like a skate. That family has and is in the New York governor's office
