[How mainstream US media depriving World from peace and security excluding from Presidential debates real domestic/global issues including 9/11 & Anthrax investigation, 2.3 trillion missing Pentagon transaction, 83,000 unknown detainees, 900,000 secret federal employees, and Live Avian Flu  Virus sent by Baxter, USA, to eighteen(18) countries which can trigger worldwide Pandemic!

 

It seems that Pulitzer like prizes really converted World Journalism to ‘Yellow’ what Hearst and Pulitzer started in 1898 to promote non-existent Spanish War beginning the American colonialism! Kolki]  

 

If politicians could speak!

Politics would have risen above status quo events -

Like polluting the air during election game

With private polls, analysis, and gossips without end!

Marring campaigns with personal shames

Ignoring the issues that are urgently relevant

For education, humane jobs, environment, and health;

While promoting tax cuts, tough on crimes, and prison cells!

 

If media could listen!

They wouldn’t spend most valuable air time -

Speculating what’s in politician’s minds!

Blocking news that matters most for a better world

Beyond rumours and stories conveniently discovered!

 

If people could read!

The messages from masses, leaders, and intellectuals -

Without misinformation and distractions from commercials

The world would have seen peace and coexistence

Improving basic human rights and enriching cultural strengths!

 

If commerce could really serve!

Science wouldn’t have been hijacked -

With researches that enrich the profiteers

Depriving planet Earth’s wonderful creatures

From heavenly universal wisdoms without barriers!
