@#23 ... Whenever a story breaks, I'm flipping channels with the remote. trying to discern the truth. ...
Similar here, but instead of flipping channels, I visit many websites.
Back, decades ago, in my teen years I had a shortwave radio. And I listened to the news broadcasts from many countries around the world. Some seemed to be quite odd, yet others seemed to be more rational.
And, as you may have noticed from the links I post, I still do try to find alternative views for much of what I see reported. But many times, those alternative views are, as Ms Kellyanne Conway stated, "alternate facts."
In those endeavors to find alternate views, I have found a few websites to be quite good.
Long story short, imo, I have found these two news evaluation websites to be quite helpful, and also pretty much correct.

@#27 ... We have so much in common. Slide Rule, shortwave radio. I listened to Motown radio from my grandparents house in Alabama.... ...
For me "Motown radio" was the NYC radio stations, mainly but not limited to, WABC-AM.
... Now i use it to listen to the aircraft that I see fly by window. ...
I currently have (with the appropriate roof-top antenna) an ICom IC-R7000 receiver. Frequency range is 25MHz to 2GHz. And I purchased it so long ago that the cell bands are available. ;)
My current shortwave radio ...
OK, long story short --- back in my teens I built a HeathKit shortwave radio. But in the late 80's it was replace by a Japan Radio Corporation NRD-515 ( www.eham.net )
Which I recently sold for an Eton Satellit ( www.universal-radio.com )
But nowadays, the Internet seems to have replaced shortwave listening for news from other countries. Which is why I sold the most excellent table-top NRD-515 for a good portable receiver.
