Depends on the kind of information, but I guess you mean politically sensitive? Then I would say from someone they personally trust, and if the information is contradicting their believes, then it should presented as a different point of view that doesn't directly try to contradict theirs, rather than the "truth", to prevent emotional rejection. Give them the bits of information while trying to not trigger blockers and let them make the connections by themselves.

My experience is mostly discussing about my rational skepticism views with religious/superstitious people without creating personal conflicts.

I was meaning any kind of information wherein clarity may be valued, so political information is a valid kind to consider for sure!
