Why do users in the politics section use spin when answering questions?

I know the media is full of spin and crap that favors one side or the other. But when I ask for a logical answer in the politics section I get alot of users who just use spin and crap in formulating an answer. I like to get answers with minimal bias but it appears many people just can’t provide a logical, down to earth, without spin type of answer. WHY???!!

Why can individuals think independently with logic without resorting to spin in the politics section?

Please provide your insight to this. Thank you for your time and answers.

What percentage of people answering your questions in politics are intelligent , in your opinion?

Note that I do not ask about ALL answers, I only ask how you perceive answerers to YOUR OWN questions.

I would not give you my own estimate when in Y!A politics, but in science sections I think that about 80% of answerers to my questions know what they are talking about.

What percentage of questions in the politics and goverment section abide by the YA guidelines?

How many are legitimate sincere people looking for an answer, as opposed to oafs masking political statements in the form of a question like:
“Why are liberals lazy?” “Do Republicans know how evil they are?” “Why is Obama ashamed of being a racist Muslim?” or “Who’s a better liar; Bill or Hillary?”
I do it all the time and it’s fun, but just wondering what the percentage of questions on YA Politics and Goverment that abide by community guidelines would be.
I’ll say 5%.

What happened to asking real an not opinionated questions on YA politics?

Nobody on here asks an actual, thoughtful, question about politics anymore. One that involves answerers to use their intellectual perspectives and evaluate an outcome and critically analyze the question’s context.

You’re right, this isn’t one of those questions, but perhaps this will inspire us to political scientists on here and not opinionated pundits who are loaded with biases and fallacies but lack logic, reason, and evidence.
