Focus on Scandals
Let's focus on scandals.
What a great way
To avoid major issues
And problems today!
Emphasize pettiness;
Muddle the facts.
Use loaded language--
Whatever attracts.
Make false analogies
And assumptions that fool.
Try hyperbole;
That's a great tool.
Stick to reasoning
That's superficial
And guards your opinions
That are prejudicial.
Though prejudging's helpful
To bolster your case,
Use misinformation
With cunning and grace.
Twist, distort,
Throw in some lies;
Pull the wool
Over their eyes.
For expert examples
Of the perfect ruse,
Turn on the TV,
Then turn to Fox News.
