The media’s all around us, it's everywhere we go, From Facebook to the news feed, we're always in the know. But not everything is truthful, you need to question more, Check the source and see the facts, it’s knowledge we adore. I’m learning how to filter, all the info that I see, Not just trusting anything, gotta know if it’s real, you see. It’s important, gotta be smart, Disinformation won’t tear us apart!
