'Gaffe' Check and Timeout. Concerning the White House and Dignitary Stations. Unbalanced Criticism May Have Flaws As Well.
Posted by HCN on Friday, September 30, 2022
It seems that what makes front page news that gets repeated over and over again these days is either a short 's' word that refers to biological functioning, masses dying in one place, or a 'gaffe', when a leader says something that seems a little off from what may have been intended.
This morning the Internet is rife with stories about the US Vice President in K Harris having this gaffe with respect to the Koreas on a recent trip.
The only thing you see are these clips that run about 30 to 50 seconds with the excerpt of what is supposedly a gaffe of North Korea has been a long standing ally...
I played the clip over and over looking for the gaffe. Why doesn't hit you there was supposed to be a gaffe?, like what many people are saying, some might ask. In there with the popular flow right?
Hold on just a second. The US historically has had relations of different sorts with both Koreas, in North and South, if you wish to call them that. There is a huge amount of background involved in the border issue. Whereat, a cold reality of north is communist, and south is democratic or has more leanings to democratic, and therefore since the US is a democracy, the only allegiance that could possibly exist respective the region is the US and South Korea, is not exactly in tune with the reality of what has been going give it a safe number of years like 100. Roughly 1945, when some elders alive today were young, is when the whole north south big-to-do regarding Koreas known in the US got started. The Korean War may have helped amplify the north south imagery many folks in the US may have through the result of popular media today.
All said, in listening to the point that was being made about the Koreas, generally and specifically, more so than nitpicking through the choice of words, there are comparatively scant amount of news articles on the web that discuss the day-to-day vagaries of the developments of US military presence in the region. The latest DMZ news, when is the last time that made the front page?
Moreover, millions are without power to even watch the TV in Florida after the path of the storm Ian. Those stories are almost drowned out by the referent 30 to 50 second clips of a supposed Korea nomenclature gaffe.
Perhaps fishing through how neurons connect together in minds and theorizing that what one meant to say was such and such in instead of such and such is plausible. If engaging in that practice, please remember the rest of the pieces that go into the longer sentences, which some criticizing individuals are not n the position the make changes to global nuclear policy, nor know what goes into making those changes.
Some individuals have gone so far as to go to social media and say things like 'stupid' and other derogatory comments. Those type of comments can start moving towards sedition; please be careful. Even if a tongue-tie moment may have been had, which could be polished post factum, for instance with a few phrases to cover or clarify, it is not helpful to the Nation at large to be sharply talking about the POTUS, VP, SCOTUS, Secretary of Defense or State, high ranking general, a governor, and those ilk, as though talking candidly at a birthday party for 13 year olds after a debate club meet. (US politics is not high school debate club game.) It might not help a policy career as much as the lure makes it seem, to talk in negative curt manners about the leaders.
In closing for now, President Ronald Reagan with his acting career behind him, understood the importance of rehearsing, even though what might be about to be said is easy and evident content, for simple fact to minimize the possible incidents of gaffe type errors, for the very reason of the aftermath of what could happen if a the wrong word is chosen, like north, south, is it east or west, when referring to a region undergoing tensions, a country with democratic in name only with an active communist government, which set of rebels in the revolution when they turned and fought each other, so on so forth. More news stories emerge finger pointing the gaffe, clogging up the news space for important issues, like what is going on right now, 2 or 3 million people in Florida with no lights while alligators and who knows what else could crawling around.
