However

However

“Don’t watch Fox News!” he barked.

An individual of guilelessness,
intelligence, warmth, fairness, honesty,
pleasantness, open-mindedness,
displaying a rare sense of humor
should remain a virtuous human being. 

Endowed with all of those fine qualities
and given accurately informed sets of data,
such a one could express original, useful takes
on current events, news, and politics
that would inform and inspire others.

However, wasting those fine qualities
imbibing the bias, spin, and lies
spewed out by nit-wit comedians
renders even a virtuous being
a stone-cold, blunt-brained fool.
