Look at presented evidence, and possible counter evidence. Words and feelings are not related to truth.

Mind blown

News media and "experts" often push certain political narratives. It is what they get money for.

You know that some news media are more reliable than other news media and that you can use the various news media to corroborate some of their points. For example, for Palestine news, Al Jazeera is much more reliable than pro-Israel NYT.

And check minority reports. From people that are under attack for their reporting. Or independent witnesses or real experts that were ignored. They are usually censored.

Yes, especially if these resources can be corrobrated.

Fact-checkers and wikipedia are completely compromised. And will present you a narrative instead of facts.

Absolutely not. The provide helpful information and note their sources. They are to be used in conjunction with other reliable resources. Critiques of them are mainly from those who are spreading disinformation and do not want you to see corroborated information on those sites.
