Purchasing Truth

Fréquence : 1 épisode/4j. Total Éps: 228

Truth in Politics. Is it even possible to discuss truth in a safe way in a polarized United States? It is hard to imagine a safe conversation with your friends, co-workers, and family discussing the nation’s biggest issues. What it would be like to listen to and watch political discussions without the current reactivity, meltdown, or withdrawal? By listening in on the Purchasing Truth podcast with host Bill Stierle and moderator Tom, you will experience a discussion on why the restoration of the conversation about truth with perspective leads to a productive conversation in a partisan nation. This podcast will address the use of language by our leaders and in the news that has been dividing us, distracting us, splitting us, and keeping us from the unity we desire. An image of Norman Rockwell’s Thanksgiving in a distant American past reflects an American ideal captured in the little girl’s face as she experiences family members leaning in for connection that welcomes and accepts diverse opinions. At that time, people held vibrant conversations that reinforced unity without the discourse breaking the family apart. Today, America is very different. Freedom of speech and the technology age has brought a diversity of expression and access to instant information. Regrettably, it has also allowed for the expansion and amplification of marginal versions of truth and unverified opinions. With so many voices pulling for our attention, how can we accurately assess the reality or danger of all the things we hear? This results in issues being used to create enemy images of each other and keep us in a state of disconnection that generates fear and anger. Each side is looking for a mistake or angle to exploit and sow dissent. Political truth is lost as identity politics and limited beliefs about party objectives are marginalized. Having safe conversations about our versions of truth has been lost. Truth is not absolute. It changes and evolves when we search for and learn new things. The good news is we can have a better, safer discussion about what’s leaning towards false, partial-truth, or a full version of the truth and develop the ability to separate them from each other. In a world where the media is controlling the narrative, it’s more important than ever to dissect the messages that are shoved in our faces on a daily basis. Together, Bill and Tom sift through the information and data that is available, providing clarity and guidance, and return to a place where honesty and integrity mean something.

Gun Sales Stoke Fears: Marketing Success by the Gun Lobby
Épisode 227
mardi 5 juillet 2022 • Durée 31:07
The gun lobby only wants the best for their biases. They don't want their gun taken away so they're going to cheer on, even the most outrageous of bills. Politicians are actually thinking about militarizing schools and the amount of resources you need to do that is not even doable. Join Bill Stierle as he and Tom give their perspective on the tragic event that happened in Texas. Gun laws and policies need to change and it's up to the politics to do that. Exactly 17,199 deaths that have happened this year were through gun shootings. Something needs to change.

The Pied Piper Of Social Media: Where The Truth Gets Lost, Part 1
Épisode 126
mardi 29 septembre 2020 • Durée 22:10
It can be very frustrating how people can believe and say the things that they say which are one-sided without even looking at the truth. Worse is when they broadcast it on social media and are influencing people to believe the same. Today, Bill Stierle and Tom explore this Pied Piper of messaging, and specifically look at the way some people are challenging Joe Biden’s mental capacity when it’s also evident from the last four years to suggest that President Trump is off in terms of the pendulum of mental fitness. Truth can so easily get lost. Make sure you’re not following the Pied Piper.

Lie, Truth And Coronavirus
Épisode 125
vendredi 25 septembre 2020 • Durée 36:20

On today’s show, Bill Stierle and Tom take a look at what lie is and compare it to justifiable truth.

Finding The Truth In Published Messages
Épisode 122
mardi 15 septembre 2020 • Durée 30:10
We can’t believe anything is true just because it’s on the internet. Unfortunately, many people believe things they see on the internet and take them as facts, especially when it's in alignment with their beliefs. On today’s podcast, Bill Stierle and Tom look into the power of published messages and how people perceive them as truth. Using a commercial for a state farm insurance as an illustration, they emphasize how we should all be cautious about the internet and check our biases at the door to really see how much truth is in there.
