For current events, my strategy is largely to stick to Associated Press (AP) reports. I ignore anything that's not super reputable, and don't have social media accounts.

My understanding is that, for many years now, the AP has been an organization for journalists to publish news in a neutral-enough way that it could be republished by other outlets with whatever context/framing/spin it wants.

A lot of the time, when you read a news story in politically-motivated new source, they're just taking AP stories and then adapting them to a narrative that better fits their audience.
