My local cable monopoly has decided to move MSNBC to a premium level so only the wealthy can afford to watch Maddow dissect right-wing narratives. I’ve written doggerel for the occasion:

Now look at them yo-yo’s that’s the way you do it

You play the race card on the Fox TV

That is workin’ that’s the way we do it

Teabaggers marchin’ on Fox TV

Now that is workin’ that’s the way we do it

Local rednecks, them guys are dumb

Beck can do the wacky on your little wingers

Bill-O gets em twisted up and numb

We gotta install fear of the other

Custom lobby derivatives

We gotta lose these equivocators

We gotta own their colour TV’s

See the little maggot with the wiring and the makeup

Yeah buddy that’s his own hair

That bigger maggot wants his own pro ball team

And Rupert Murdoch is a billionaire

We gotta instill fear of the other

Custom lobby derivatives

We gotta lose these equivocators

We gotta own their colour TV’s

Ailes has learned how to play the race card

Hannity’s learned to beat the drums

Look at that blah blah, we got it comin out the camera

Man this is a lotta fun

And he’s up there, what’s that? Hawaiian noises?

Bangin’ public option like a chimpanzee

Call him liar that’s the way we do it

Money for nothin’ but controversy

We gotta instill fear of the other

Custom lobby derivatives

We gotta lose these equivocators

We gotta own their colour TV’s, Lord

Now that ain’t workin’ that’s the way we do it

They call our bullshit on MSNBC

That ain’t workin’ that’s the way we do it

Call up Comcast and move it to pay feed

Money for nothin’ but controversy

I want my

I want my

Em-e’s-en-bee-cee
