About this listen

What do journalists and CIA analysts have in common? To be effective and trusted, both must present detailed information from a neutral perspective. But what happens when professionals in these fields feel an issue is important enough to cross the line into advocacy? Join Tim and Enoch as they sit down once again with former CIA executive Tim Buch to unpack the critical distinction between sharing information and pushing an agenda. In this timely conversation, they explore why neutrality matters, what’s lost when it's abandoned, and how to recognize bias—even in places where objectivity is expected.

Reference to previous episode with Jason Long on "History's Greatest Hits".
