With so much information out there, what are some ways to keep up with the latest news in U.S. politics? I've been trying to do it more but it's really frustrating. Any suggestions would help

If you have a google account you can to go http://reader.google.com. Go around to some news sites like CNN and NY Times, etc. and find the RSS links. If you copy these links into the Google Reader, then every time there is an update you can see the headlines. Many news sites have RSS feeds for different subjects. For example, CNN has separate feeds for politics, world news, U.S. news, weather, etc. You can pick and choose the ones you want.
Also, if you like reading political blogs, a lot of them have RSS feeds you can add to your reader as well. That way you can keep up with the news AND the blogs' opinions on it.
Hope this helps.

I have the same dilemma.
And I was thinking the same thing just today.
I gotta find some good news sites.
Not yahoo news or google news.
I don't want to have to sort through 600 articles.
I am just going to have to start keeping my eyes open and make note of sites that have a lot of editorial content.
I am starting all over again.
I hit on a lot of stuff playing on forums because I do post links and I do check the validity of statements made by other posters.
I am 55....used to be we had a couple or three newspapers and the TV news we got came from the evening news.
But I am just going to have to concentrate on finding some good reliable sites.
When I run web search on topic all sorts of stuff comes up.
I don't want to take a post made on another forum and treat it as if it was a fact.
A lot of that going on.
I will just note good sites.

I start by skimming the Yahoo news and Google news sites. This gives me an idea what the mainstream media wants me to see.
Next, I go to the blog sites from the left and the right to see what hot issues each side is discussing. I follow up on whatever lines of discussion or stories that appeal to me.
Here's a couple of blog site addresses that are very active.
http://www.dailykos.com/ on the left
http://www.redstate.com on the right
happy motoring.

Going to CNN or Fox may nicely be ordinary, yet both are biased in route of a particular party (CNN=Democrat, Fox=Republican). the finest might want to honestly to attempt Yahoo! It has no political association, so the information remains as impartial as conceivable. purely avert television station internet sites, like those above, and also try to be high-quality.

Read as much as you can not just newspapers but magazines as well, watch the news as many different networks as possible make sure Fox is one of them. The more points of view you get the more informed you will be.

Any mainstream, US news is no help, because its biased. Try the internet sites, that give you both sides of the story.

CNN is by far one of the most trusted sources...fox is nothing more than arm of the GOP...you might want to try US news and World report also...good luck!
