The Power of the Press

Their daily mantra
Filled the air
From press to the public
A well oiled affair

And when they were wrong
They rewrote their words
Rewriting history
Yes, nearly two thirds

Till written events
Were totally skewed
Reflecting a fantasy
Designed by the shrewd

Controlling the minds
Of the public at large
This was their goal
This was their charge

For they felt if they could
Their dreams would come true
Their post modern utopia
Would see its debut
