My mother, of memory blessed, used to say
A true-ism pertinent more so today
“The longer you lived with your dirt”, we were told
“The cleaner it looked”, truly wisdom of old
In politics this is called normalization
Positions once worthy of our condemnation
When brought to the table by those holding power
Become more legitimate, seeming to flower
But dirt is still dirty no matter it’s place
The Press has a duty reporting each case
Not to be “neutral” or “fair” to both sides
Rather telling the facts, letting TRUTH be their guide

Amen
I like this one very much.
