Neither political party is immune to telling you what they want you to know. It does not matter whether it is the left or the right, they all want you to become invested with their opinions and thoughts. They want you to become infused with excitement for the actions they want to take. Non-partisan political information will help you see the difference between the two or, sometimes, three sides of the issue.
The propensity for the dominant media to listen only to one side of every issue makes the idea of a free press less attractive to many. The politicians that are listened to will have all of the say, in this way, for those who only get their news this way. There used to be hard news and commentary, both of them separate from each other, editorially. Now that distinction has been all but eliminated for the past 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.
Simply repeating the words of a politician as being the news fit to print makes the exercise of a First Amendment protected entity a dangerous element of the body politic. This does not matter whether it is a right or left wing elected or appointed person. Politics, for all of its necessity in the debates of the day, do not require the press to bolster one side or the other.
Politicians, of all stripes, will present their talking points and hammer on them. This will rarely be fact based and none of those facts will find their ways to the voters as the media is not interested in them. Asking an elected official a direct question, unlike the press unless they are in the other party, will generate a jumble of words that means little to thinking people.
The almost total absence of common sense facts about gun ownership and crime is a good example. In cities where this second amendment right is actually infringed upon, gun violence is very high. The politicians who have the eyes and ears of the press will tell us all that this is not true. The same politicians who ignore these facts will also emotionalize many other things.
The political maneuvering around the issue of immigration is also lacking in facts. One side will tell everyone that all immigrants must be allowed in and, therefore, the laws do not mean what they say they mean. The other side will point out that legal and illegal do mean different things. They stand for the rule of law, however, none of this gets past the emotional reports about this issue.
No politician wants to be accused of standing in the way of people understanding what those same politicians are doing to or for the American people. They will tell all, far and wide, what they want the people to know and it will not be what they are actually doing. All they have to present is what they are supposed to tell their audiences because non-partisan political information will not assist them in making themselves look good.
