I used to read over 40 newspapers/sources of news per day. I speak four languages fluently, so I was interested in reading different views of the same issues. I stopped doing this a few years ago, but here is my recommendation:
1- Get your news from as many sources as possible and from different countries.
2- Go from extreme left, to extreme right to have an idea about each source
3- Form your own opinion. Do not consume news only, but try to take a step back and think about the whole thing.
4- If you did 3 very well, you will see some dynamics and behind the scene influence from different people/ideologies..etc. I'm not talking about conspiracy theories or negative influence (which does exist). I'm talking about the line that each news source follows to get you the news.
5- If you did 4 very well, you understand the news and you are no longer required to follow them every day.
PS: you will find yourself drawn to specific sources because they match your beliefs. That's ok too, just be open about other sources as well.
This reminds me of a time back in the late 90's when I was doing support for internet access. I had a very old man on the phone trying to connect to the internet using a CD (similar to AOL). I then say to him please close all the windows you have open. He says "one moment" comes back after a minute and says "I closed all windows in the house but it's very hot, what do I do now".
I bought one off amazon, made in china. It turn out to be a good chair but it did put a pressure on my thighs. So I bought a seat cushion and boy that changed everything.
Whatever chair you are buying, try and buy a seat cushion it will improve your comfort considerably.
