Misinformation ... News

Today’s word is “misinformation” ... mis-in-fer-mey-shuhn ... false information that is spread, regardless of whether there is intent to mislead. (Dictionary.com)

News
I wish I could trust, everything I see,
Or hear, on the internet or t.v.,
But nothing is the way it first appears,
Misinformation wends its way around,
Through every single syllable that’s found.

How to unravel all these tangled threads?
That is the question that is on my mind.
The fabric woven fills my heart with dread,
I’d like to deconstruct the knots I find,
And reweave them into something fine,

But a mind much bigger than my own,
Is needed to decipher facts unknown.
