True Non-Partisan Political Information Is Difficult To Find
Whenever information is needed, facts should be used to provide it. Fully informed people make decisions based on facts and, without them, nothing is truly known. The absence of communication of those facts has a name and it is not non-partisan political information but political correctness in its worst form.
Asking any politician for their particular take on an issue is like asking them to repeat the talking points that have been created for that issue. This is often prepared by someone who is thinking purely about partisanship. The need to make a particular side look good trumps the need to actually shed some light on it.
Do not expect the dominant media to help you in the search for this type of non partisan data search. They are held to account for their reporting by the party to whom they pay obeisance. They repeat the lines and present the charts, graphs and references, if any, that they are told to report and nothing else.
When watching a debate, one would think that there would be an exchange of facts. That is not usually the case as talking points make for an emotional answer that drowns out the facts. Moderators helping the party for which they vote, such as was last done in the presidential debate in 2012, will help see to it that emotionalism is more important that facts or valid data.
One of the many casualties of political correctness is communication and, with it gone, non partisanship is left by the wayside. Without being able to communicate, facts can not be heard and what passes for discussion is often simply yelling from one side and acquiescence from the other. The emotional outbursts are then taken as the message and these are very seldom based on facts.
The vast majority of presenters, be they politicians, the media or any of the designated representatives, do not, usually, want to present facts that do not agree with their position. Most people realize this and still want something factual to decide upon. They want to be able to trust their elected representatives, however, they are sometimes at a loss to figure out where to go.
Non partisan means that the facts are used and it is not tilted toward one side or the other, by the presenter. Finding this is difficult as the many websites that say they are right down the middle, rarely are. The need to be as politically correct as they have to be makes it hard to report objectively and still garner any respect from most politicians and major moves and shakers.
Look past the speech correctness, inherent in the vast majority of the media, and look for the emotionalism in most issues. These are the ones without solid facts to back them up. Look for back up material and check those sources. The Internet is good for this as there are partisan as well as non partisan reports out there. You just have to look harder. This process will help you find the facts of any issue.
