"The days of Walter Cronkite or Knowlton Nash are over. If you are looking for unbiased news through the lens of one voice, you are going to either be misled or frustrated. I love the fact that you make RealAg Radio and RealAgriculture part of your information sources, but if you listen regularly, you know I have my own biases. We all do."
"The media has changed. You need to change as well, but you cannot be lazy about it. The change is based on user preferences; people say they want unbiased media, but really, what they want is an opinion that confirms their own bias. Don't hate the player, hate the game."
"Personally, I listen and watch a very wide variety of perspectives. If you looked at my Spotify, you would see some scary shit on both sides of the political spectrum based on your own viewpoints. I don't necessarily agree with what I hear in all cases at all, but it's about being curious enough to hear all of the perspectives on issues to frame my own thoughts."
"You must understand the bias of the people that you are listening to, and if you don't and take everything as the absolute truth or gospel, that makes you"
A winter season of agricultural keynotes included audience interactions that reveal current concerns affecting agriculture. Frequent questions ask who provides objective, unbiased news and information amid frustration with media bias. A response emphasizes that single-voice, unbiased news is no longer realistic, and that every source has biases. Media change requires audience change, including active effort rather than laziness. People often claim they want unbiased media but actually seek opinions that confirm existing beliefs. The recommended approach is to consume a wide variety of perspectives, understand the bias behind each, and avoid treating any viewpoint as absolute truth.
