[Newspoetry] how could you do this to me?

[Joe Futrelle]

Dan Rather tells lies
of omission, as autumn
turns to a dead freeze

Bill O'Reilly, you
bastard, you didn't mention
our deadly harvest

CNN Headlines;
that anchor in Christmas red
once more betrays us

Mr. Tom Brokaw,
"If it's not Brokaw", maybe
it's the fucking truth

Hey Peter Jennings
how could you do this to me?
And I trusted you

To think, Ted Koppel
it's finally come to this:
choose me or the truth

So, Walter Cronkite,
were you any more truthful
in my spring of youth?
