Regardless if you know about politics or not, they will still effect your life. So you might as well know about them, and that way hopefully you can have some influence and decisions. And so you don't become a victim of them.
One misconception in my opinion is 'there are two sides.' I think this is an oversimplification. Sometimes there are times when one side isn't clear, sometimes there are many more, and sometimes there really is one valid opinion.
Personally, I think the Wall Street Journal *was* a good news source. But they have been bought out by Rupert Murdoch and another victim of his propaganda machine. I would recommend The Huffington Post over them, (www.huffingtonpost.com) but they might be changing soon too.
Can you get NPR or PBS where you are? They have been corrupted by right wing politics too, but do their best to stay in the middle. Although some people think they are 'left wing.' I think those people really don't understand where the true leftist are.
Also, read your state and/or country's constitution. Probably best to start at the beginning, and congratulations for showing initiative.
