Fake Gnus

'Tis noted that some media at times express divisive and jaundiced views! Hence, such inane twaddle has reputedly become known as fake gnus! (Written with considerable tongue in cheek and with profuse apologies to the innocent African antelope known as a gnu!)

G'day Bob ... the gnu's may want to change their name just in case they start being called fake gnus. It's hard to believe any news in these times - thanks Bob - Lindsay

You are so right, Lindsay. This is a comment from my old USAF boss after reading the verse which I think is very apt: "Better "fake gnus" than "fake news" since fake gnus don't exist and fake news does!" I like that. Best on you, sir - Bob H
