Let's try that again, with line breaks:

Memo to CBS: Rest In Peace

With wreath of mike wires at it's brow
and klieg lights at it's feet,
The Old Press stiffens in it's box
Arranged all prim and neat.

Twas not progress killed it
and placed it on the shelf;
But Rather, truth it could not bear -
And so, it killed itself.

Let's try that again, with line breaks:

And once more, with those apostrophes removed:

Memo to CBS: Rest In Peace

With wreath of mike wires at its brow
And klieg lights at its feet,
The Old Press stiffens in its box
Arranged all prim and neat.

Twas not progress killed it
And placed it on the shelf;
But Rather, truth it could not bear -
And so, it killed itself.

Great poem!

Very well crafted.

I think Rather murdered CBS, but actually I guess it was a million little paper cuts over many years inflicted by Rather and his ilk that did it.
