Wright argues that commentators need not be unbiased but must be honest with audiences about their biases.

“It's not the job is not to be unbiased. The job, however, is to be honest with your audience about your biases and then let them call it how they see it”

Wright urges sports media figures who comment on politics to have a baseline understanding of the issues, unlike in sports where bluffing does little harm.

“So it is important that if you are going to be a thought leader or opinionist in it, that you have a baseline understanding of what you're actually talking about”
