    I don't know if there is. Everyone has an agenda, good or bad, same or different from yours.

    The votesmart website is probably easier, but if you want completely non-biased info about their stances on the issues...

    I don't think there is such a thing as "unbiased information". The best way to be informed is to get as much information as you can about an issue and make up your own mind.

    i don't think such a place exists, honestly. Everything is slanted in some way. Usually the "alternative" news sources people prefer over major media or slanted either left or right. They may even be worse in some instances.

    Whatever the source, it's easy enough to sift through the opinion and do your own fact checking.

    Often times people hide behind saying how the source is biased so they don't have to address the facts in such pieces. Most people are smart enough to read bias and still be able to realize the facts can't be denied...it just takes more effort and therein lies the problem.

    right. most people would rather sit through a news program on tv or whatever. But the problem with that, i think, is that the news is rarely incorrect. they report accurately for the most part. the problem is what they don't report on, the information we never see. the information we have to dig for, to actually work for. And I think that is the root of the propaganda we are subjected to, in the US.

    I agree, it takes effort to be informed.
