Emotion Shapes Perception

In today's episode we discuss how emotion can shape our perception and reality. Often when we think with emotion it can sometimes cloud of reality and create a perception based off that emotional reaction. In today's climate of politics many people cannot discuss these issue without some emotional response. The mainstream media and social media are well aware of the emotional drawl of people and often will exploit and manipulate that emotion for their monetary gain. Its important to contain emotion and not comment on certain issues until all the facts are determined. Recently D.Wade now daughter has come out as transgender. Wade and wife Gabby Union have gone on media circuit talking about this transition. People need to understand when you go out your way to make a private matter public with the world that opens the door for public reaction. Boosie had made comments pertaining to this transition. Not saying or agreeing with such comments, however I support free speech and understand once something is made public people are entitled to their opinions, good or bad. Snoop Dogg made some comments about Gayle King following an interview with Lisa Leslie about Kobes death. Don't think either handled it correctly however there needs to be consistency among these journalist when discussing these issues. Especially when somebody like Charlie Rose has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 27 women, yet Gayle said "I stand by my friend" and "theirs two sides to every coin".
