Do Not Expect Non-Partisan Political Information From Either Party

By Cara Torres


Trying to find non-partisan political information is becoming harder and harder each day. Between what partisan politicians are saying and what the news media decides to print or broadcast, it is difficult for people who want to know what is going on. The endangered species that is fact is disappearing faster than many of the animals that are actually on that list, which is also extremely partisan.

The large news agencies used to safeguard their reputations by making sure their hard news items, such as what was happening in the political field, were backed up by facts. This was made easier by having a commentary section where they could exercise their tin hat thoughts in a way that did not distract from their main purpose. The two of these sections have merged over the last 30 years.

Since non-partisan political information is the statement of facts and what, where, when, why and who is supposed to be the norm, the news is no longer that. Many people are excited about the inclusion of this definite one sided reporting. It does, however, help to color the thoughts of people who go nowhere else for their news.

Debates are in places and conducted in such ways as to prevent this type of information from getting the people. There is more heat than light in any debate and the reporting of same is treated as a way of promoting one side over the other. This is accomplished with countless discussions about who won or lost. Without factual information, the people lose.

Many people appreciate the highly partisan rhetoric that is confused as political debates. Many of them need the comfort that they have it right, regardless of whether or not it is. A lot of these individuals do not want to get it right, they just want their believes, fears and or opinions supported in some way and this makes them feel good.

The inability to get a clear idea about things are especially important as we discuss gun violence. One side will say that guns are dangerous and, by having more weapons on the street, the violence is expanding. This contributes to the idea that everyone who buys a gun is going to become a crime statistic. The fact, on the other side is that, as gun ownership is more wide spread, gun crimes have gone down.

Not being able to contend with all of the facts that are available when you think about it, immigration, for one side, is simply emotional. They will say that we need to make sure they can all partake of the American dream. They will not allow the fact that the illegal immigrants are not following the law and are, thus, illegal to be here. They must emotionalize the issue so there is no rel facts being considered.

Non-partisan political information is hard to find. There are websites and services that profess to be truly impartial, however, a quick glance through them will tell you which way they lean. One sided, unbalanced political information is something that is passed around to the like minded. This factual type of information is valuable only because of it scarcity.
