Letter: Technology can help people educate selves politically

Published: Sunday, Aug. 26 2012 12:00 a.m. MDT

Summary

It was great to learn that YouTube will be starting a presidential campaign channel on its site.

It will make political information from multiple perspectives readily available. People will have the chance to educate themselves politically even more easily than before.

Education is something that is an important part of making choices this election season that are not based on biases, rumors or presumed information.

Politicians refer to people who don't know very much as "low information voters". "Biases, rumors or presumed information", are exactly what they base their votes on, and politicians want to keep it that way.

While YouTube can be helpful, what's wrong with reading? There's lots of stuff to read on the Web. Just go past the stuff that just reinforces what you already think.

Agreed. Why go with what is being established when you can do the research yourself?
