I think this is talking about people including preachers who just tell people what they want to here. And in this age where in it all comes down to what makes the most money.
"A teenager's plea for meaning and means
We're selling the news..
If you shoot it too straight, it won't come back
We're selling the news"
A preacher who just tell people what they want to hear because they don't want to loose them.
"America listens, the story is told
With an eye on the truth as the story unfolds
But the ratings determine if story was sold
We're selling the news
Begging the question, mongering fears
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
The truth is seldom just as it appears
we're selling the news"
It's all about the ratings and if you story was the most interesting or looked the coolest not if it was the most truthful.
"The facts are simply one option to choose
Where nothing is sacred, there's nothing to lose
Where nothing is sacred, all is consumed
We're still on the air, it must be the truth
We're selling the news"
This if the frustration with the fact that nothing including God seems to be sacred any more people just want a good story and they will do anything to get it. We as consumers just believe what we've been told must of the time with out even thinking about.
"I want to believe you
I want to believe
But everything I see is greed
The fact is fiction
Suspicion is the new religion"
This is simply stating that we can believe anyone any more and that we are now suspicious of everything even God.
