pretty regularly. i read publications and internet site that span a wide range of perspectives. It's a lot more interesting.
I read progressive/liberal stuff like the Nation, Grist, dailykos; libertarian stuff like Critical Review, Cato, Reason; and even National Review and Daily Standard from time to time.
I read the local paper often, and also check out several national newspapers now and then.
if you really want to be persuasive you must not only know the opposing viewpoint, but understand it - understand where someone else is coming from. It can even help you find common ground, which can evolve into progress.
