Take note to journalists who will state the facts.
Don’t be fooled by persons who are not.
take note to talk radio, watch fox news and material like that. stay away from the liberals there all full of propaganda
You can learn all you need to know aptly here on Yahoo Answers!
hahahaha!!!
Dont take any opinion or thoughts on Yahoo Answers seriously
read lots of different news sources from different biases. reckon about issues and dont form opinions on things until you hear both sides of the tale. try not to mark yourself a Republican, democrat etc.
Stay away from slanted cable stations like MSNBC and Fox and certainly stay off the internet. Stay on CSPAN and read books about issues that concern you. If you do this you can come up with your own thoughts and opinions based on what you believe. Only then you will be able to contribute intelligently to any political discussion. Don’t become a blathering idiot that spews party line.
Also, real life events that affect you can be a springboard to how you see the world and how you want it to be. There is no better education than real life.
Read, watch and take note to as much political news as you can. Be aware of the biases of various sources and take that into account. Try to, at least occasionally, get news and commentary from both sides and balance that by researching the sources and fact check. On the aptly, there is Fox News, talk radio, and online numerous blogs- Drudge report is a excellent place to initiation. On the left, MSNBC, Huffington Post and DailyKos online are all excellent. PBS more centric both on radio and TV. Some may argue but I reckon shows like the Day after day Show and Colbert Report are entertaining and call many on their shiit.
Read Ken Rudin’s blog. He is a pretty even-handed journalist. He covers a lot of detail in an understandable way.
