True Non-Partisan Political Information Is Difficult To Find

By Nora Jennings


Facts, as they say, are stubborn things. They must be embraced by all sides in any political discussion. The facts of any issue must be used to participate fully in an informed debate about any policy decision. They are often not and that is one of the major reasons non-partisan political information is very hard to find. That is because to be truly non partisan, facts must back it up.

When looking for this type of valuable information, you are often misled into believing something that is not at all in concert with the facts. A politician will tell you what they want you to know or believe, not necessarily what is going on. They do this in an attempt to make themselves or their party look good.

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.

Debates, held in many venues and for various reasons are not helpful in understanding what the non partisan information is. This is accomplished by maintaining a selection of moderators who have already sworn to their sides to be helpful to one side over the other. A moderator having a copy of a press conference who misreads them in assisting their candidate makes an emotional presentation that is all the audience hears.

Trying to find the facts is difficult as political correctness takes over in many discussions. Underlying all of what is said, in many quarters, is the use of the proper words which do not make for meaningful communication. Without the communication, emotionalism rules the debate and no facts can be heard over that.

The need to obscure facts are important in presenting, to the public, things the presenters do not actually want presented. When there are no facts, people have a need for information anyway. They want to trust their government, the media and other authority figures. Most of them want to know the truth, wherever it can be found.

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.

When searching for non partisan political information, one thing to do is avoid emotionalism. This is a clear sign that facts are missing from their argument. When one side presents information, of any kind, search for the data that backs that material up and supports it. Common sense and a love of country will inform you better than anyone who searches every room for a microphone to talk into.
