> I'll happily read a conservative news story that understands facts but many ignore/lie about them to drive their political agenda. The same can be said about the other side. All too often our ideology drives what we believe rather than being able to see and sift through people's arguments. The problem is that "both sides" tend to read to reinforce what they know rather than to challenge it. Why not try to understand someone's argument. For example I've talked to several people who 1) agree climate change is happening but 2) disagree with most of the people who are very pro cap-and-trade or emissions limiting.
