Be wary of the global media

It's run by power-seeking men

Who see themselves as king-makers

With a reach far beyond a mere pen.

 

The home of hysteria and hyperbole,

Banging drums of alarm and despair -

The source of maintaining confusion

In search of the very latest scare.

 

There''s a love of being game-changers...

Of keeping us all on our toes,

With alerts and warnings about "dangers"

Eager to add to our woes.

 

Now it's twenty four hours - no let up,

No cessation to what they report

About what's bad that will see us get het up

And in need of some sort of support!

 

Note what is announced circumspectly,

With a dose of the old pinch of salt;

Use the on and off button directly

To bring electronic intrusions to a halt!
