My method of consuming news at one point was to expose myself to propaganda to all sides of the cold war. Presstv, cgtn, RT, telesur, AP, Reuters. This is the advice I give to family members. But lately I just take the shortcut of leaving off the last two and focus on non-western media. and I'll keep this up for this era while there is a consensus at just how terminally cursed the west is. at least until the west is decolonized from settler-colonialism and Palestine is freed.
Not offense but that's way to easy. Also leads to a narrow worldview in which you'll always find yourself confirmed. It's true that western propaganda is mostly based on a bit of truth. That's at least something to work with if you seperate it from the opinions that normally come along with it.
It's a basic heuristic but you're always on the defensive that way instead of getting ahead of the curve. Better to form your own opinions entirely instead of relying on reflex to stimulus

Simple: search for the point/news all MSM and "controlled opposition" try to sell you, then think/believe the opposite.

Never said this is my only way to get informations, I only said that this "reflex" is my personal defence from MSM propaganda.
Fair enough. Same here
