No Joy In Morning Joy

There is no joy in Mudsville journalism for mighty objectivity has struck out

Advocacy “journalism” has put reporting the news into a hasty rout

There is no joy in Morning Joy

Drowned out by the anti Trump bias deployed

Reid claims that this is the best time to be a journalist

A barb against her qualifications too hard to resist

Journalism’s major tenet is to find and the trust report

It is not to fit the reporter’s bias the facts to distort

Listen to Joy Reid and this revelation to the viewers should come as no surprise

Her lack of honesty and impartiality and overwhelming bias is impossible to disguise

A journalist in name only, a complete hollow shell

A walking editorial masquerading as news with an agenda to sell

She also claimed that under Trump it is the worse time to be a human

Looking at history such claim reveals a complete lack of acumen

In her mind the millions killed by the Plague or the Spanish Flu

Or in the trenches of World War One or in the battles of World War Two

Or the starvation of millions by Stalin in  Ukraine

Or the removal of 6 million Jews from the Reich’s domains

Or the genocide of the Armenians by the Turks

Or the rapes and beheadings in Nanking by the Japanese gone berserk

Or the genocides in Rwanda and the Balkans or the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields

Are mere speed bumps compared to the dangers a Trump presidency will wield

With comments like that when she comes on grab your remote and channel change click

Such rants will outrage you, raise your blood pressure and otherwise make you sick.
