What's News?

There aren't many facts,
Available to us,
About how much Russia's interfering,
In polls in the U.S.

But you can be sure that if they're the first,
They're certainly not last,
Information warfare's the new Cold War,
Unchecked by nonproliferation pacts,

An insidious enemy to truth,
That renders news defunct,
Sure, Trump can go around calling it fake,
'Cause that can't be debunked,
Because it can't,
It is too polarized,
Different reports on the same event,
Facts altered to appeal to certain eyes.
