Two Media Guys: Fair and Balanced?
First Guy:
I want to become a reporter
To write the news of the day.
I want to tell our stories
In a fair and balanced way.
I see an America strong and safe.
I see Americans free.
I watch young men and women
Fighting for the guys like me.
I want to tell the Home Front
What the Front Lines really see.
I want to become a reporter
But no one will hire me.
Second Guy:
I want to become a reporter
To save the world and the USA.
I have an agenda, indeed I do.
I intend to have my say.
That War is wrong I truly believe.
Good intentions and words are the way
To reach out to those who hate us
And let them have their say.
I think we can learn from their wisdom.
We should look at ourselves with chagrin.
A newspaper column's no problem for me
The offers are pouring in.
