\u2018deliberately edited for the purpose of misleading the public\u2019.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nSo what is the truth? What\u2019s it really matter at this point? Damage has already been done. In this new world we live in it seems that you are guilty before being proven innocent.<\/p>\n
Lady Gaga was chosen to be the half time show act for the Super Bowl. As I perused social media yesterday morning I saw petitions circulating to ban the half time show with comments that spouted:<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s going to make a political statement.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe flew in a bunch of Muslims\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe called Beyonce and asked her how she could make it the most controversial.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want my football game to get political.\u201d<\/p>\n
At her news conference beforehand she\u00a0promised a statement of \u201cinclusion\u201d and assumptions were made. Instead what we received was an upbeat and uncontroversial show. Sure, she sang a few lines from \u201cGod Bless America\u201d and \u201cThis Land Is Your Land\u201d and recited the \u201cone nation indivisible\u201d from\u00a0the Pledge of Allegiance. She also shouted out a hi<\/em> to her mom and dad. It was that<\/em> controversial. Although people will read into everything,\u00a0she offered several minutes of entertainment, with hints of a political statement. Most all of it was just refreshing, whether you like her or not. \u00a0She had the last mic drop.<\/p>\nI wonder if those who report assumptions, and those who believe and spread\u00a0the rumors, are embarrassed at all. Remember that old game telephone, sometimes called whisper? The teacher would\u00a0whisper a message in\u00a0the ear of a student, that student would then whisper to the next, and it went through the whole group until the last person would finally announce the message to the entire group. Although the objective is to pass around the message without it being misheard and altered along the way, part of the enjoyment and fun is the errors in the retell. \u00a0The reasons for the difference could\u00a0be anxiety, stress, hearing issues, and sometimes plain deceit. We are living in a world of whispers, only they are being shouted, shared and believed.<\/p>\n
In our world with so much content it\u2019s harder to research, to get all the facts, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to assume or play the game of whispers.\u00a0Maybe the truth is harder than what is real. Or maybe drama wins.<\/p>\n
