Do NOT allow "network news" to define the issues for you. (Caution: It will make the "Surveys" tougher to take because you'll see shades of difference in the selections - It's impossible to define a broad issue in just one sentence but necessary to do so in a Survey. The more you know about an issue, the less happy you'll be with the selections offered by Surveys.) DO NOT base your opinion on the 30 second sound clips that the networks select for you. Search the INTERNET for original sources also use sites that import opinion/commentary/news from a variety of sources - Realpolitics.com, Drudgereport.com for example) are useful tools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
