Intro
Eights thumpin’, screens glowin’ blue, They say they’re neutral, but the lean shows through. From ten o’clock news to the midnight view, It’s red state eyes seein’ somethin’ untrue.
Verse 1
Abby on the hour, ten sharp with the spin, Two GOP voices, rare sight on CNN. Middle America watchin’, tryin’ to relate, But the questions framed sideways, tilt the debate. Flyover folks see the game in the tone, Not balance, just balance on a wobblin’ stone. “Fair and objective” is the flag they wave, But the undertone’s left, and the right gets shaved. They claim they’re the center, playin’ both hands, But the Midwest knows bias when it hits their land.
Chorus
Tiltin’ left on the screen, every anchor’s line, Sayin’ “we the middle,” but the lean’s defined. Fox picked a side, MSNBC too, CNN play pretend—same shade, same hue. From the coast to the cornfields, people can tell, It ain’t hard news, it’s a primetime shell. Tilt, tilt—camera angle’s bent, Call it balanced, but the balance got spent.
Verse 2
Then it’s Laura at eleven, lowest rating in the pack, A one-way street, no turnin’ back. Republicans cut short, Democrats get space, The whole hour feels like a courtroom case. Midwest towns, diners tuned in late, Shakin’ their heads sayin’, “This ain’t debate.” It’s a pylon drill, red voices erased, Not a dialogue, just blue ink traced. They wear the mask of neutral on the broadcast stage, But the tilt’s so loud, you can measure the gauge. If balance is the claim, it’s a claim they missed, Just watch those hours—bias don’t resist.
Bridge
MSNBC left, Fox flyin’ right, CNN in the middle? Nah, that’s just light. It’s the same old play with a different coat, Sayin’ “straight news,” but we all take note.
Chorus
Tiltin’ left on the screen, every anchor’s line, Sayin’ “we the middle,” but the lean’s defined. From Abby at ten to Laura at twelve, The Midwest clocked it, story tells itself. Tilt, tilt—truth in disguise, Watchin’ through the glass with cornfed eyes. If it’s news, then let both sides speak— But CNN’s tilt runnin’ strong all week.
Outro
From the farms to the coasts, the story runs deep, Bias in the hour that don’t fall asleep. Truth ain’t a brand, it’s a voice we seek, CNN tilt—showin’ week after week.
Inside the recording
Eights thumpin’, screens glowin’ blue, They say they’re neutral, but the lean shows through.
Tiltin’ left on the screen, every anchor’s line, Sayin’ “we the middle,” but the lean’s defined.
From the farms to the coasts, the story runs deep, Bias in the hour that don’t fall asleep.
