while the rumour is raw
deal with it delicately
figure out facts
silently sift through the suspect

Thank you. It seems that even what we see is distorted by what we are shown, the skewed narrative, even the tone behind it. Very sad that media is irresponsible or manipulated.

Dear Sonya,
Thank you for creating and sharing this poem. That’s a powerful way to put it…raw rumour.
The influence of media continues to condition – and distort – thinking.
All good wishes,
