Check each source with stories you can verify, and if they spin away from the truth, don't take them seriously. I was able to do that easily with my local newspaper, because I've caught them in outright lies. Easy to verify when you're actually involved in the story. But I've had first hand knowledge of national news in the past, and have seen the major news outlets bend the truth mercilessly.
