     There's lots of garbage news from all over, and the MSM should not be casting stones. I like the strategy one of my friends took: you read from the mainstream (CNN), the left (HuffPo), and the right (Breitbart). At least that way you get a variety of views, even if they are still highly biased, if not outright junk.

doing so makes you a high-information-consumer anyway and far better secured against all kind of biases.

     Reading things that you don't necessarily agree with also teaches you how to read critically. It's important to not find yourself being stuck in an echo chamber.
