For my deliberation unit I am pretty sure that I am going to use opinion editorials from the New York Times website. My main reason for choosing this is that I know it’s a reliable source. Sometimes with sites you get unreliable information and then also you have uninformed commenters who want to start ridiculous arguments. I feel that with the New York Times, you won’t be able to avoid the ignorant argument, but instead, hopefully, there will be some more effective commentators. I also feel that the NYT is a good, trusted source of info. It isn’t like they are lacking in the commenting area either. If you look at any article there are an abundance of comments that are pertaining to the above argument.
If looking at the NYT does not turn out to be effective when I go to make my first comment I will probably turn to CNN. Now I know that info on CNN can often times be biased, but I feel that it would be a good site to partake in some deliberation. So many people get their information online today, that either of these sites will be able to provide me with the information that I need for this project and that I will be able to successfully comment on a post and have a beneficial conversation with someone through them.
The sites for each are below.
