The establishment media got it wrong again. In the weeks leading up to Super Bowl LX, legacy outlets pushed a familiar narrative: conservatives and Christians opposed Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny's halftime performance because he sometimes wears dresses and performs in Spanish. But a closer examination of his actual lyrics reveals the real reason families across America were concerned.
According to The Daily Wire's investigation, Bad Bunny's catalog is filled with sexually explicit content that would make a sailor blush. We're talking graphic descriptions of sexual acts, vulgar references to women's bodies, and lyrics so explicit they can't be printed in a family-friendly publication.
"This isn't about language barriers or fashion choices," said one parent activist. "This is about the NFL platforming an artist whose songs contain content that most parents wouldn't want their children hearing, period."
The mainstream media's rush to frame this as xenophobia or anti-LGBTQ sentiment is classic misdirection. They'd rather paint concerned parents as bigots than acknowledge legitimate worries about explicit content during what's supposed to be family entertainment.
"Why is it that every time conservatives raise concerns about inappropriate content, the media immediately cries racism or homophobia?"
The Super Bowl halftime show has become increasingly controversial in recent years, with performances that seem designed more to shock than entertain. Remember when the biggest controversy was a wardrobe malfunction? Now we're dealing with artists whose entire brand revolves around content that wouldn't be allowed on broadcast television if it were in English.
This latest media manipulation shows how desperate they are to control the narrative. Instead of having an honest conversation about what's appropriate for a family audience, they'd rather gaslight parents into thinking their concerns aren't legitimate.
Patriots deserve better from both the NFL and the media that covers it. When did protecting our children from explicit content become controversial?
