Postmortem

Postmortem, by Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

Have Walter and Ed been put to bed
Is objective journalism soon to be dead?
The wannabe dictator is out of his head
Still the Amazon king, is killing the lead

Stand up to Jeff, stand up to him
Don’t cower to bullies based on a whim
Your duty is to fact, to truth, and a free press
Don’t cave to authoritarians in fear of duress

Murrow and Cronkite are examples to follow
If you abandon them our Constitution will hollow
The bellow of fascism lurks close nearby
Don’t let this be journalism’s last goodbye
