Rated 154th

Our MSM juggernaut

A brainwashing machine!

Free-to-air channels

To attract eyeballs in every home

Incessant propaganda!

His rhetoric only matters

Preempt Commissions's report

Wasting everybody's time!

Every few minutes

Constant babble on TVs

Worst than communist!

EP like GRC

Mechanisms to institutionalize

Political dominance!

A Parliamentary Democracy

Bastardize and abuse

Morped to oligarchy!

A near fatal collapse

Time to step down gracefully

Forget succession plan!

First time invoke the

Name of God, God cannot be mocked

He sees knows everything!
