Comment from Lobber
Hi there,
Uh fortunately the first word may disqualify your entry since I believe there's not much thought (yet alone meditation) that is part of today's Media. While limited Investigation may occur, it often leads to throwing out the findings....the result, as we know today, is called Fake News. - Lobber

A very well-written acrostic poem about the media who are bringing information to the people but are not always accurate or the truth. We have to decide what we believe.

This is an excellent acrostic poem. You summed it up in one word
and all of them rhymed. This was really a powerful poem.
A job well done! Keep up the good writing.

Comment from Debbie Pope
This is good, Jerry. The best acrostic that I ever read had one word lines. I think it was BIBLE. In one word, the author explained everything that you need to know about the Bible. That's what yours does. It defines what the media should be doing.
Good luck in the contest. I like it.

Comment from Henry King
This is an educational acrostic, therefore it is excellent. It tells what media is supposed to do. Like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the U.S.A. are supposed to show how the National Government is supposed to be run. Unfortunately it is almost the opposite. Media meddles in odd places to attract readers, viewers and listeners. Media is evasive to explain why. Media diverts questions about their purpose. Media allows no investigation of reliability. Media is abusive editorially to any questions about themselves.

Thank you for all the stars. I truly understand this dichotomy and your frustration. But, I am hopeful that even in a barrel of rotten apples there are a few good ones - Jerry

You are welcome. There are always some good people in the media and government.

I like the simplicity here. It hits all the right notes for the state of today's issues that involve the media from the inside, and the outside. It's short, but sends that deep message of thought. Well done

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
the words definitely fit a 'media' poem. I also see that you have used the 'tion' ending on each word. Good job. Good luck in the contest. See you at the polls.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
With your five well-chosen words, you have given the highlights of what the media do for us. When investigators, reporters, photographers, etc.,
are FAIR and HONEST, they are true godsends!

Thank you for the "Excellent review". I wish that I could have worked those words into the poem along with courageous and compassionate. Maybe the next contest?
