b88 (3.13-1.2020): "let's come together"

the only game in town ^[1]        
by m. arch & m. addness

alternative title: "let's come together" 

i watched the news today (it was the only game in town)
as news reporters (faint/persuade) the facts they toss around
they say “lets come together” while the clips they show (divide)
i watched the news today (a blend of captivating lies)

·       news channels (particularly fox and msnbc) have lost the ability to report news.  did entertainment networks ever have the ability?

·       in any event, two ‘channels’ describe the same ‘news’ – but paint pictures of two diametrically-opposed worlds.

·       global, consumerized systems fail to avert crises.

·       now, we get to watch & listen to disaster (from the locked-down confines of our own, quarantined homes).

·       let’s "spend some time" (alone).
