What news is real? What news is fake?
Take pinch of salt? Take dice and shake?
Those uninformed can spin a yarn,
And social media can spread harm!
Do journalists check out their sources?
Integrity their best course is
Let’s hope they know whom they can trust
As time is short - but check they must!
News flows unchecked from all war zones
Then Facebook shares it on our ‘phones
But has it all been filtered first?
Press freedom challenged – could be worse …
“But what is Truth?”, Pilate once said;
Barabbas freed and Jesus dead…
The rowdy rebels were appeased
But misinformed – the wrong man seized …
We flounder in news overload
We check on-line, use QR code
And try to make sense of events
Drowning in world news intense …
