Opinions and Group Discussions
Opinions, blog posts and discussions can be biased but useful.
Sometimes people closely
aligned with particular candidates write opinions without disclosing
their relationships to the candidate.
Questions to ask yourself:
- Can you identify where the writer(s) are coming from? Do you agree
with their positions?
- Do the posters offer evidence for their opinions? Is that evidence
credible? Is it proportionate, or blown out of proportion?
Individual Candidate Coverage
These posts cover specific candidates in depth. Sometimes the
candidates are asked specific questions and sometime they are allowed
to talk about whatever interests them. These profiles can offer more
in-depth coverage than you might get from a candidate’s website.
