Mean Blogs and Spam

It's pundits who've given me reason to bitch.
There's Olberman, Hannity, Limbaugh and Rich,
O'Reilly, Paul Krugman, Chris Matthews and Dowd.
They all know the Truth and they'll shout it out loud.

And on those occasions when Truth's not quite true,
The facts they'll start spinning and logic they'll skew.
But that doesn't stop them from thinking they're right.
Some points you're not seeing? You're in for a fight.

The anger they cause, why it's not their concern.
Of life in the flesh they can hardly discern,
So like a contagion they fill up the air
Till we just get tired and then no longer care.

Now bloggers have added their voice to the din.
And Facebook and Twitter have tweeted right in.
The air's filled with pundits just blogging away,
Convinced their opinions are the ones to hold sway.

Now I can be Maddow, Ann Coulter, or Klein,
Observing away with opinions all mine.
I'll even use facts in the things that I post.
One for good measure; two at the most.

Très intelligent et plein d'esprit! as they say in my neck of the woods. The final couplet made me chuckle. :D
