I’d say, read stuff written by people in different camps. The intersection of what you’ll read is most likely to be the actual thing, and you’ll be able to discern the biases.
Over time you’ll start noticing trends, recurring themes and biases (both in the right as well as in the left).
Also be wary of social media: we often recognise that the glamorous life portrayed by influencers is fake and performative, but (somehow) we don’t apply the same strictness of interpretation to political influencers on social media.
One last thing: it has become a very strong feeling of mine that we’re now in a post truth society, where fake news are spread left and right (and by the left and the right) shamelessly and without much repercussions if at all. AI isn’t helping (actually it’s making it much worse).
So… yeah, those are my two cents.
