...to get a basic idea of the news of the day, without overwhelming him?
The reason I ask is that a friend of mine has a son, 17, that is wondering what would turn his father from a Republican of long standing into an Obama supporter. (At least, other than George Bush's actions and my words.) So now he's starting to care about current events. My friend asked if I thought Newsweek was OK, and well, my heart wasn't in my answer of yes.
So, what would you all suggest? Remember, this is a 17 year old boy who's just starting to get a sip from the garden hose. Giving him a firehose to drink from would be counterproductive.
Thanks...
