Political advocacy groups have begun to use information services to disseminate information that is then accessed by the public via personal computer. Since many groups are thus able to bypass traditional news sources, whose reporting is selective, and to present their political views directly to the public, information services present a more balanced picture of the complexities of political issues than any traditional news source presents.
Information on political issues disseminated through information services does not come almost entirely from advocacy groups that share a single bias is an assumption on which the argument above depends.
