Personally I think old-school independent news media is still the best source of information, although it's best to look at both right- and left-leaning sources to get a good sense of what's real.

And it's best not to read the comment section. To the extent commenters are human at all, they may be paid influencers. And if they are not, people's natural tendency is to repeat the most viral information, which is often incorrect or things that cause outrage in favor of some ideological viewpoint.
