I would like to learn about politics?

Politics is the art of persuading the masses through half truths. If you really want to understand democracy learn statesmanship. That is the quiet but constant accumulation of real truth from both sides of an issue and coming to a balanced conclusion. There are many statesmen in democracy. They are just not the headline grabbers. They say very logical things and almost always what they say and do is not controversial or interesting. Thus you would not sell much news by reporting their activities.
