AGENDA BENDER

I'm on what's called an agenda bender -

I head unasked to join the action;

I'll be your ready and able attender

At any display of dissatisfaction

 

The media are fans of fakery

They're ready to make up stories

They'd see meat in a bakery!

(And they love to blame the Tories).

 

I watch the daily mainstream news

For the expected biased depiction

Of who did what - that they can use

As their factual version of fiction.

 

I'm ready for my next agenda bender

With no lack of complaint or cause -

And nothing gets returned to sender;

Your moan's mine and mine is yours!

As for the role of the media in "inflaming" situations, check the
view of its reporting of the recent event on Clapham Common and
the criticism from the watchdog - HM Inspectorate of Policing and
Fire and Rescue - about how the unfolding situation was depicted...and responded to by certain opportunistic politicians
mentioned by name.
