one blurb of news
in the paper
and suddenly we're experts,
one
segment of 60 minutes,
or a podcast
on YouTube
and we
are now spouting off
the truth
as we perceive it.
and then a week later
we find out
none of it was true,
all of it was made up.
apologies are
made, retractions are forthcoming.
so we quickly move on
to the next thing
that hardly
matters.
another topic of which
we have no clue.
