It's a well-known fact that most of the news we receive is biased, inflammatory and sometimes even false. At this point watching or reading the news to gain any kind of information seems ridiculous. But at the same time, we can't be oblivious to what's going on.
So what do we do? Thankfully, there are some resources we can use for this purpose-
