I agree with the super potato. Opinion and ediorial pieces are very good fodder for understanding issues. The key is to read a variety of opinions. Use them as starting points. If you read an opinion that doesn't make sense or perhaps, is just of interest to you, do some more reading on the subject.
In my mind it is always about balance. Trying to understand all sides (there are usually more than two) of an issue. Being able to admit when you are wrong as well as ask questions when you don't know are also key. Unfortuanately, in Politics this is too frequently seen as an excuse to attack rather than to enlighten.
