The Lying Papers Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The lying newspapers

To vote in Britain is a strange affair
since it is class-based, every class only read 
what is of their interest,
doing the best to denigrate the enemies party leaders
but since the owners of newspapers are usually
right-wing the conservative party often wins.
There is an exception the Guardian can at time 
the sound left-wing, but then they get cold feet and join
the shrieking of the right.
The popular press also called the gutter press destroy
peoples reputation, say "Corburn" an excellent politician 
belonging to the left of the labour party.
What is scary is that working/class readers get influenced 
by the constant lies and vote for a party 
that is no good for them and the country.
This comes down to lack of education not being able
to read between the line and think independently.
