    You can find out about the latest books, articles, and blogs of note right there on the TV machine:

    Comedy Central, C-span, MSNBC the Sunday morning network shows--This Week, Meet the Press, Face the Nation. These are sources that do not have shouting heads. Occasionally, someone tries to talk over the other guests on MSNBC, but they are not invited back. On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow does a particularly fact filled show filled with enough numbers and other facts to thrill any policy wonk. And she is very soft spoken. Jon Stewart on the Daily Show hits the latest issues squarely on the head.

    Avoid Fox; it raises one's blood pressure with all the shouting. And Glen Beck is just plain crazy. CNN is just lame.

    Go to some big website like google or yahoo. They have political articles. Read the newspaper, read some books, see some michael moore films. You'll get it.

    Not here, that's for sure. This site is for people that get their kicks off insulting other peoples political views. Like FOX.

    Not the media, not church, not your parents. There is no truth in politics, only money and power.

    If you wanted the truth on politics, starting looking in newspapers. The television "news' media has become too incompetent to report correctly.

    If you want to learn how things ARE, join the Democratic or Republican Party. If you want to learn how things SHOULD BE, join a different party.

    that is because of the fact people in basic terms pay attention to what they choose or opt to pay attention. they do no longer care approximately the rest, and until it ultimately impacts them, they does no longer care squat approximately it.
