Comment from Brigitte Elko

Excellent

The truth of the media bluntly described in this poem. You managed to utilize prefatory terms to give full impact to your words. Bullshit is indeed the correct terminology to tell about most of the news. Fake news? lol Well penned and an excellent contest entry, creative and unique.
Have a great day.
:) Brigitte

This is spectacular. I love the rhyme and the meter -- you go win that competition, now! The last two lines are the best! Loved the way you put the swear. :)

My sentiments exactly. And unfortunately, I do not foresee any timely relief. Interesting that your Cable News Junkie is female. I smiled when I realized that as most cable news junkies in my life are males - with incredible time on their hands as well as arrogance.
Back to your offering. Contemporary and witty.
Best wishes in the competition!

I don't watch much news but I do every once in awhile. I feel like if you watch too much of it you'll get depressed. All the major stuff that happens with the President is so publicized that you don't need the news. You'll find out without the news.

I enjoyed your poem very much and can relate! We're bombarded by news and opposing views 24/7. We've no idea what to think and less time to sort it all out. The piece flowed nicely. Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written poem about the life of a cable news junkie. It is better these days not to watch news, there are more controversies than truth and itvud better not to know than to be confused.

I saw that alien looking thing in your accompanying picture recently in an episode of the Outer Limits or Twilight Zone. I can't recall which one, exactly.
Creepy...
This was an interesting take on the contest. A cable news junkie, huh? Trump would call her a "Fake News Junkie", I'm sure.
He's so full of it his eyes are brown.
