Forty four years ago
Sitting on a bench
Catching up on all the news
Ignoring the stench
Nothing's really changed that much
Just the way we read
News is still controlled by power
Giving us what we need
Pretending not to like the bad
Asking for more good
But when it's given straight to us
We say they've misunderstood

"News is still controlled by power"....well yes and no but the balance has changed a lot. We now have the choice to abandon newspapers and still stay informed as reported in so many comments made in other blogs this week when people have told how they now get their news.
