Fox “News”

Pry back the digital veil
obscuring reality.  
Gaslighting.  
Pernicious, false rhetoric.  
Designed to enrage.  
Imaginary conspiracies.  
Charlatans,
 posing as investigative reporters.  
Innuendo replacing facts.  
Purveyors of outrage,
spinning
layers of deception,  
misinformation,  
disinformation and  
outright lies,  
like straw,  
into ratings gold
Insulated from accountability (until recently)
Unmoved, uncaring of the  
consequences.  
Acknowledging their lies  
are
gold.  
What the audience wants.  
And with enough gold,
you manufacture the truth.

Author's Note
Fox is not the only one that falls into this category but has by far the largest audience. In a rare example of accountability for knowingly spreading lies about Dominion the lies proved costly.  Speech is free but lying is expensive.
