Meet people in person that are actually working on these issues. I met Jeffery Lewis and Scott LaFoy in DC and talked with both of them about arms control and got their read on Russia and who in the west is nuanced and trustworthy. I also pull information from multiple sources. Al Jazeera, BBC, CBC, NYT, etc and I mentally keep track which voices are later proven wrong and more importantly, I keep track of which voices issue corrections. The least trustworthy journalism has no corrections, which would be preposterous. Everyone makes mistakes.
