Are the reporters accurate in what they are saying about the issue? Is there a lot of controversy about the issue or are most people in agreement about it?
2. How do you feel about the issue? Do you agree with or disagree with what you see on the news surrounding this issue? Why? What is your basis for support or opposition to the issue being discussed?
