The Worst of News 2009 Hank Green (Ft. Rhett and Link)

Hank do you remember when all of Georgia fled
That flood that left thousands homeless and seven dead
But while those people drowned and their houses went adrift
The news was about Kanye West....and Taylor Swift

Indeed Rhett & Link, I see the news media failin
Every time anyone mentions...Sarah Palin
They dispatch a dozen camera crews every time she poos
While I can't escape the feeling she's just not news

And swine flu, while a killer, got more love than it needed
Killing 4,000 people while the normal flu, unheeded
Kills 60,000 people year in and year out
People like to have something to freak out about

But then there was that Michael Phelps marijuana scandal
Just one picture and the media flew off their handle
I mean, he did the exact same thing as our last three presidents
Something about our priorities here does not make sense

So many important things happened this year friend
Iran's election and mass recession and Obama sworn in
But to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb
And we can only hope that we're not the only ones
Yes, we can only hope that we're not the only ones
