Strategy Points:
No phrase has gained as much traction over the last few years as ‘fake news’ and there’s a reason why so many people are throwing it around. We now live in an era where media of all categories has to entertain to drive revenue and that causes the information to take a backseat. On this episode of Your Financial Mission, J’Neanne will tell you about four different places that bias slips through and infiltrates the message. We don’t want you to fall victim to misinformation – intentional or not – and this discussion will help you better identify the bias media around you. Keep in mind that this isn’t about bad actors that have ill intentions for you and your retirement plan. Some of these issues are a casualty of the times but damaging, nonetheless.
