The 'Kitchen Sink',

or maximalist, approach to the use of the public media
by any government, to declare that government achievements,
using as many variations of explanations as the public will accept,
sure gets wearing after a very short period in a governments life.

No wonder then, that public cynicism soon throws out the baby
with kitchen sink and stops listening when the first word or phrase
of the news remains the name of the leader for too long any period of time.

Then, people of vision have to look further for their inventive streak,
to reinforce how the news agenda should be about wider views
than the narrow 'kitchen sink' presentations the government prefers.
