About Us

HonestBias was created as a place to share biased (but thoughtful) opinions. The level of heated rhetoric only continues to rise, and it's important to have a venue to share opinions without hate. Do you have something to contribue? It doesn't matter if you're right, center or left, because we seek diversity of opinion. See how to contribute here.

Why the name "HonestBias"? As much as we may not want to admit it, we all have biases. Those who claim to be "objective" and "unbiased" are not only wrong, they're offering a false portrayal of themselves (even if they truly believe it). One of the only ways to approach objectivity it to be honest about our biases and then counter them by intentionally seeking to understand why those with whom we disagree reach different conclusions than we do.

So what can you do? First and foremost, when you read or listen to what someone else is saying, make a genuine effort to put yourself in his or her shoes and try to understand the actual points being made. You may still disagree, but you'll hopefully walk away realizing that you just interacted with another human (and it probably wasn't Hitler). Second of all, take the time to research and think through your position before offering your opinion as if it's fact. Finally, be humble and admit when you are wrong (don't worry, it happens to the best of us from time to time).

Let's talk. Let's listen.
