Republican contenders trust FauxNews
as if the crap it's blaring out were facts
then act betrayed--Ohio voted Blue!
when fantasy and real world interact
the Fourth Estate betrays the public trust
in publishing what blatantly ain't so
to conjure victories up out of dust
that vanish when the tangible winds blow
perhaps the States need our own BBC
not owned by malefactors of great wealth
if we're to truly be Home of the Free
and not subverted by the Murdochs' stealth
democracy requires that we engage
to vote on issues, not just vent our rage
