What is a website that attempts to provide balanced, bullet-point summaries of the different sides of controversial issues? I want a quick way to come up to speed on the state of debates I am unfamiliar with. Something like this must exist...

like this?

http://www.politifact.com/

Compared to what I was imagining, that's focusing more on, for lack of a better phrasing, "political" issues (who said what, who broke what promises, etc.) rather than "real" issues (is universal health care desirable? was 9/11 a US conspiracy? is there a god?) But still an interesting site, thanks for the link.

Someone on Facebook referred me to Opposing Views, which is much closer, though they don't quite have the summaries part.

Wikipedia does in some cases, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control#Arguments

But I'm also interested in finding something better.
