I try to cross-reference things and then look at the critical angles. Public media generally has higher editorial standards for me. I don’t trust right-wing sources or the New York Times because they lack editorial standards. State media I don’t trust for domestic issues, but while I don’t go to Al Jazeera for news about Qatar I trust their coverage of Palestine and France. I try to avoid sources that have an involved stake in the conflict, so something like Ukraine means no RT/Pravda but I’ll watch the primary footage coming off Telegram and then compare it to multiple countries’ coverage of it. I try to stay dialectical with all of it, so I’m cognizant of the history and material/social angles which create the issue and the biases of those covering it. I’ll read a socialist article but I don’t want to uncritically agree with news so that’s more supplemental unless the media hasn’t yet/won’t cover it.

Otherwise I listen to a lot of podcasts that are leftist or left-liberal, keep a critical eye on social media coverage, and follow scientific journals/niche science websites that summarise those journal articles without editorialising.

Lemmy, so it’s often outdated or wrong.

Honestly yeah, I might set up my own rss reader and see how that goes. I like engaging with the Lemmy community though.

I try get news from a variety of places i do like reading opposite slants on the same events its kinda interesting tbh. Look man those who turn i blind eye to political games will be used up and spat out we have to be informed else face being abused/used by those who are.

Not American, so I usually check the front page of CNN to get a general sense of what the media is talking about right now. I get a lot of my political news from Seth Meyers’ and Stephen Colbert’s monologues as well, since the snark is fun.

For local and regional news I use the CBC and my local newspaper.

And I guess Lemmy, but that’s more of a secondary source than a resource I think of when I’m searching for current events.

AP, BBC, and NPR for general news. Been on the hunt for some English language news covering the rest of the world and provide an outside look at US news.

Facebook feed of 60+ raptor rescues and wildlife photography groups and Google News search for owl news to post to !superbowl

Lemmy Top 6 Hours for any breaking news and news about stuff I wouldn’t normally look for.

If anything really catches my eye, I’ll generally Google it to get at least one other article from a different source to get more info or a second take on the story.
