In an old Three Stooges movie, the Three are testifying in court and are asked, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and everything but the truth?" Does this sound familiar about the media today?
There is an old demonstration about telling the truth. If you take a group of people and you tell one of them a story of facts and then have them repeat the story to another person and so on until each person has received the story from one other person, what is the end result? The last person has almost no idea of what the real story was.
The truth is that one is responsible for what one says and not for what someone else hears. But, be careful of what you say because others want to hear what you didn’t say.
And, the media never lets the truth interfere with a good story.
