Remember when Kellyanne Conway came up with alternative facts?
Don't be so overly dramatic about it.
At first I was shocked and disgusted to my core,
but after a while I kind of realized that maybe she had a point.
But what happened to good old plain facts?

♪ Like Mr. T,
no not from the A-Team,
but from Team USA. The way he bends the truth,
the way he makes up stuff, it sickens me.
Now that's a good old plain fact.

We're getting bogged with bad news,
sensational news,
any news that can generate numbers.
Subscribers and hits,
streams and likes,
and thumbs ups and DMs and MTs and MPs and PMs.

I was thinking of creating an app,
open source,
where you can find or share good news,
heartwarming stories.
An app about respect,
love and tenderness and friendship and
honor and people doing the right thing.
Just inspiring stories and beauty and so on.
But hey,
I'm a dreamer,
I'm no IT-er.
So if there's anybody out there who can help me with this app,
please reach out.
