There are people who make their livelihood evaluating journalistic sources. I'd personally suggest seeking out factual news sources over editorialized news and straight opinion articles masquerading as news. Even those will have their biases on what to publish, but those biases will often be far more evident (if not overtly spelled out).
Ad Fontes' Media Bias Chart is a decent starting point. Various statistics gathering websites are other decent sources.

Even those will have their biases on what to publish, but those biases will often be far more evident (if not overtly spelled out). Bias isn't exactly truthiness. You can be fantasticly unbiased and still be wrong. I have done what you recommend as well, quite useful for the last half decade.
