content: Keep listening to NPR and watching PBS,  they are over the air so you don't have to pay.  If you are genuinely realizing that there is a narrative there, listen even more intensely.  I'm not asking you to donate to get a tote bag, just listen to which way the river flows,  It's astounding that government(tax) money goes to such a one-sided broadcast group.  I don't know when you used to have respect for  public broadcasting, but it is anathema to classically liberal values.  Damn.... this is a rant.  Long story short, try to grow a long list of vetted sources.  You can only measure the quality of the source against what you have already seen...
