Where do politicians get their information from?

2.76K views

When there is something like a crisis going on in another country it always seems like every politician (not only the ones in the government but the others too) is aware of the exact details about anything that might have influence on the situation.
Do they read the newspaper like normal people or does every party have their own people abroad?
How exactly does it work?

the US has a vast intelligence network – and part of their job is to keep the President and members of Congress (depending on their specific committee assignments or leadership positions) informed of what’s going on in the world. The politicians also have their own staff who keep up with relevant happenings and brief their bosses.

And of course a lot of them either just watch cable news or make up whatever bullshit they feel like.
