My own personal method is to assume anything News is actually just marketing trying to fight for my attention. I still scan through the corporate marketing sites to see if there is anything interesting and if sites in multiple countries can vouch for their story. None of them appear to have investigative journalists any more, just reporters on the ground at times. There is also a lot missing from the news. For example, there is talk of a Russian destroyer 24 miles off the coast of Hawaii and another one 24+ miles off the U.S. Eastern seaboard right now and I can not find a single news story about it, just some youtubers that are into tracking vessels on marinetraffic.com but I can not figure out how they are identifying military vessels. I think that would be interesting but the corporate news sites are silent so maybe it's all fiction and fear porn to get clicks which the corporate media are often guilty of as well. Either way there have been a myriad of occasions where some random youtuber finds something and the news does not pick it up for a week. That's another thing. There are many Youtubers that have 10x more viewers than the corporate media sites. But most of them just add commentary and do not have investigative journalists. Where did all the investigative journalists go?
