selection bias

no Walter Cronkite tells it like it is
each broadcast's edited to  match its niche
as different as 'Hamlet' from 'Les Miz'
this for the workers, that just for the rich
a charlatan, unqualified to lead
convinced the rabble he's the chosen one
replacing civic virtue with crass greed
as metric that he knows what  must be done
One Nation, indivisible at heart
must share the vision to which it reacts
but tailored channels tear us all apart
by offering alternatives as facts
two polities, confirmed in their own views
mine reinforcement from their chosen news
