Last week we had a conversation about buying positive coverage....which mostly resulted in people talking about bias instead. So instead we have this video now. A conversation about bias in board game media. Relevant to most forms of media coverage, but perhaps more so in board games due to the smaller space and general upbeat nature of the people in it. Bias exists, being aware of that bias, our own and the people we're watching...that's an important part of the conversation.
