It’s an election year and there is an overwhelming barrage of information being thrown at us from every angle. It’s difficult to know what to believe and what to dismiss as nonsense. As educated citizens we are more than capable of making that discernment – as long as we aren’t filtering out the articles we disagree with – thereby allowing ourselves to have a more holistic view of the current political environment. Immigration is one of the most talked about topics in U.S. politics at the moment, largely due to the dramatic and controversial stance Trump has taken on it. As outlandish as his statements might seem to us, there is clearly a large portion of the population with which his thoughts on the topic resonate. In order to combat his dangerous rhetoric intelligently, it is important to understand why the other side thinks the way they do, and so I’ve compiled a list of both conservative and liberal websites that have reported on not only immigration, but all the other relevant issues facing our nation today as well. Comparing and contrasting the stories that come out of these partisan news outlets, which span the entire political spectrum, will be helpful in shaping a more coherent and well-rounded view of what version of the news the various members of the public are being fed.
