Lie As A Fox

From Dorothy Dawe:

The mismanagement and the incompetence on the part of Trump and Pence on the Coronavirus Pandemic has been staggering.  However, what's even more disturbing is the false and dangerous misinformation and propaganda spewing forth from Faux News.  Take a look at these headlines:

In the shot with Laura Ingraham, she's explaining that Hillary Clinton would have handled "the Wuhan virus" worse as president "if her handling of Benghazi is any guide."

REALLY?!?! 

Hillary Clinton?  Benghazi?  Wuhan?

WHAT ABOUT HER EMAILS?!?  I'M WILLING TO BE THAT CLINTON'S SECRET SERVER WAS IN A PIZZA PARLOR IN WUHAN, CHINA -- AND THAT HER COMPUTER HAD A VIRUS -- AND THAT VIRUS MORPHED INTO THE CORONAVIRUS -- SO THIS CAN ALL BE TRACED BACK TO HILLARY CLINTON!!!

These sickening, deplorable people are not journalists.  They're nothing but a bunch of fear-mongering, shit spreading, immoral dissemblers.

The work of these mendacious and malevolent misleaders calls to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "What's real is in the dark" (below on the left).  Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "My wheel is in the dark" (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
What’s real is in the dark!
I cannot hear them speak
Yet know their fibbing feats
Go round and round.
 
Their truth is just their Lie!
And frequently re-told –
Yet when it’s told
No clearing at the end –
 
Some have resigned to Gloom –
Some will be in the tomb
While they exploit –
 
With fake news – talking heads –
Pass falsehoods though the screen –
Flinging the problem back
At you and I!

By Emily Dickinson:

My wheel is in the dark!
I cannot see a spoke
Yet know its dripping feet
Go round and round.

My foot is on the Tide!
An unfrequented road –
Yet have all roads
A clearing at the end –

Some have resigned the Loom –
Some in the busy tomb
Find quaint employ –

Some with new – stately feet –
Pass royal through the gate –
Flinging the problem back
At you and I!
