This is once again my attempt to insert my commentary into Megyn Kelly's latest dialogue, this time, she describes how easy it is for our politicians to lie to us, and how destructive those lies can be when taken hold of by a biased media, until the facts are revealed. What happens when our elected officials and the media do in fact attempt to lie to and mislead us?
We revisit Nancy Pelosi's remarks about the Hobby Lobby case, but this time with a twist. We will analyze the overall impact of her remarks, and how detrimental they can be:
Give Me a Break: Megyn Reacts to Pelosi's Office Saying She "Misspoke" About Hobby Lobby Ruling - Fox News Insider
First Kelly asks:
To answer, the result can be quite destructive. Lies can be told so many times, by so many people, that they tend to take on an aura of truth to the unwitting; as was the case with Nancy Pelosi, who yesterday intentionally misled the public about the Supreme Court's decision in favor of Hobby Lobby with a grossly misleading representation of the ruling. No doubt, a lot of people still believed it, and still will despite the reality of the matter. She goes on to summarize:
As shown elsewhere, I demonstrated to you all piece by piece how inaccurate Pelosi's claims were, how hypocritical she had been on the religious freedom issue, and why liberals had no standing on the issue of contraception. But now, we analyze the aftermath of such a grotesque misrepresentation of the facts at hand, both by the media, and by Nancy Pelosi herself.
As is typical with most of the left leaning major media outlets in America, none of them take the time to question the veracity of our politicians statements, that is to say, the Democrats. None of them are ever challenged to explain themselves in the public eye, because we have a media willing to shield our them from the consequences of their mistruths instead of fact checking them. The result of this is a public opinion skewed by the selective reporting and spin of these politician's remarks. But then, someone does indeed answer the call:
In fact, PolitiFact did rate her statement as false. However, in a very puzzling move, when PolitiFact called Pelosi's office for clarification on the statement, her spokesman simply said two words: "She misspoke." In fact, many people would be satisfied by that explanation, since they may not be too inclined to hold someone's feet to the fire. When people do not stand up for the truth, then more destruction has been wrought. It is what politicians do best: they take full advantage of the ignorance and gullibility of the masses. More destruction comes when our leaders continue to repeat their lies instead of admitting they are wrong. As a result, more people are misled, simply because nobody is willing to speak the truth. Give me a break:
A real leader admits to their faults. They don't attempt to hide them. When they do, they lead their followers down a path of no return; "wide is the gate, and narrow is the path to destruction", so to speak. What is the result of our politicians and media willfully misleading us? The result is catastrophic. When people are willing to be misled--or in fact when they have no idea they are being misled, they will be willing to mislead others; while their masters stand idly by, doing nothing. Then and only then will the seeds of mass dissonance be sewn into the fabric of a nation. However it is also then and only then, that people with enough wherewithal to think for themselves and seek the facts, that the seeds of honesty can be sewn as well.
In parting:
It is a given that politicians on both sides of the aisle willfully mislead the public, it is also true that our media plays a similar role. As is the case with so many of the issues and scandals plaguing America today, our media and elected officials will purposefully try to mislead us all. We can't fall for that. We aren't stupid, we are Americans. It can either be "truth, justice, and the American way" or "lies, injustice, and the wrong way."
