EVERY media outlet skews their content left, right, center, etc. Remember - someone is paying for that news to be generated, so they're going to want to have at least some sort of say in what does or doesn't get mentioned.

The secret is to not rely on any one single news outlet. RSS technology for example allows you to subscribe and monitor literally countless news sites and other content all sorted by folder or collections (for example I have current events, politics, general technology, 3D printing, space, etc - and each has dozens of feeds from big and small blogs, and news sites). When I view ALL news feeds, I get all content sorted by timestamp. No algorithm is sorting the data for me, just raw feeds of data.

Whenever a major event happens in the world, I see literally dozens of different spins on the same topic. Usually 90% of the time the headlines are close enough that you can really see the reality. Sometimes it's fun to see "extreme" spins from some extreme left or right sites or what content they choose to ignore. I don't subscribe to just the news sites that align with my views, I like to subscribe to everything so I do get every side of the equation. It also helps prepare me for when my father starts to spew clearly BS from certain media outlets known to embellish the truth with "alternative facts".

Every time I find a website with a well written article that I am currently not monitoring, I'll immediately check to see if there's an RSS feed available for me to add to my collection of curated feeds.

Sometimes I even get to see test posts from the news sites or articles with original headlines before they get rewritten lol.

My advice would be to research RSS feeds and learn how to use them. So you can educate yourself.

Pro tip - you can even use RSS feeds to watch and lurk on the fediverse!
