RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: THE PRESS
60 Minutes Sellout
When CBS caves to a frivolous suit
The death knell sounds its toll
The free press is ripped out by its roots
The fourth estate crumbles and folds
Extortion is a very nasty word
But it hardly covers this
An act so cowardly it’s almost absurd
CBS goes down on my list
Of the companies that have sold out
To a man who would be king
Their cowardice goes beyond all doubt
The death knell of freedom rings
Remember when the press stood strong
Against our proud nation’s foes?
Those were times so far and gone
We remember with bitter woe
When 60 Minutes joins the crowd
Of those who have lost their way
No longer can we stand up proud
To salute Independence Day
(Paramount moves to settle frivolous
Trump lawsuit.)
