In the realm of news, SMNI once shone bright,

A beacon amidst Duterte’s polarizing light.

Where mainstream media critiqued with disdain,

SMNI sang praises, a different refrain.

But alas, the tides swiftly turned their way,

Post-Duterte, a new role they’d play.

No longer a voice of impartiality,

But a puppet for the pastor’s morality.

Badoy, Ka Eric, Roque, Sonza take the stage,

Peddling narratives, inciting rage.

Weaponized against those in power’s sphere,

Fairness and accuracy now disappear.

From news to rallies, their mission expands,

Organizing dissent with eager hands.

But as franchise cancellation looms near,

They play the victim, shedding crocodile tears.

Hoping for another EDSA uprising to save,

Yet their credibility dwindles with each wave.

SMNI, a cautionary tale of media’s plight,

Once a breath of fresh air, now lost in the fight.
