[quote=Anonymous]I agree, OP. but I'm afraid it's an impossible task to find a news source all will agree is unbiased. Even if you do find a source that is objectively unbiased, the side it does not favor will still CLAIM it's biased and refuse to accept its reporting as true.

I actually think there's a lot of unbiased and fairly reported news out there. But partisans will always try to explain away unfavorable news by attacking the messenger.

FWIW, I've given up trying to have real discussions with political partisans on either side; the partisans seem incapable of having a real discussion that is not skewed toward proving their side is right. The only people I can talk to about that stuff are the political agnostics, who are hard to find.

If you do have to talk with someone about political issues, I'd suggest trying to avoid the politics entirely, and just talk about the substance of the issue itself. Assure the other person repeatedly and loudly that you're sure her preferred candidate/party is right on these issues, but that you just want to understand the facts better. Otherwise, she'll just keep repeating the talking points her favorite TV pundit fed her. [/quote]
