I don't believe there's any real point in having a debate or dialogue on politics.

People's opinions don't change based on logic and reason, and regarding many of the most substantial issues, there IS no "right answer", merely opinions. These opinions only become more entrenched with arguments; only time and experience will change them.

I think we'd be better if news and information outlets on politics had NO means of responding or reply.

Not entirely true. It depends on their original level of entrenchment. If they are still at the level of "I don't know much about this Obama guy, so I'm for Clinton," a reasoned argument can convince them to switch to Obama.
