talking out of the side of their mouth

when someone starts

off a sentence with

the phrase,

do you want to know the honest

truth?

you know

you're in trouble.

and the last thing you are about

to hear

is anything that's

factual or true.

this is exactly what the nightly

and daily news does.

giving you 

a slanted version of what is real,

of what they want

you to believe and hear.
