Fourth Estate - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

Let's bid adieu to the fourth estate
And the slanted news they promulgate
Where access is mission critical
And truth is for the cynical
Where talkers lie abundantly
Enabled by right-wing punditry
Where jobs are just a snake oil pitch
And in the end it's bait and switch
It's anti-woman, anti-gay
Just trying to steal your life away
Family values preaching thing
The Stormy trumper Cheeto king
Anti-taxing oath filled takers
Fiscally conservative greedy fakers
Corporate welfare, corporate greed
Parrot the hate-the-poor screed
Beware the swagger and phony drawl
It's just a hypocrite's mating call
Give us your tired and huddled masses
All you have is right-wing asses
