Think about how you get your news. If it comes from only conservative sources, guess what your opinions will be based on? If it comes from liberal sources then you get different results. The key is to get information from both sides and make a decision that's in the middle somewhere.
The other thing is to consider the source. Is your news source committed to promoting only one point of view? The way you can tell is if they don't allow for two independent views. If you only get a point of view that states one side then you might want to consider balancing it with something else. It's also helpful to ask yourself it the news source makes money off their point of view, has a specific agenda or is truly just putting out the news.
News Flash. News is not opinion that supports your values and beliefs. News is reporting that is as neutral as possible and sticks to empirical, demonstrable fact. News tells you the sky is blue, not that the blue sky is brought to you by the Libertarian Party.
