For actual news- I just watch local.
Every morning, over coffee, I check the website of all the all the MSM sources. It usually gives clarity on things happening and the extremes often balance each other out. It’s almost humorous at this point- like CDawg said the other day, the stories that do get covered, and especially the ones that don’t, reveal the tribal desires of the audience that particular outlet is pandering to.
I will say- and this is anecdotal I admit- folks that don’t trust the media or politicians to tell them the truth- watch this stuff now with a big grain of salt. It seems to be a very large % of us consumers.
