This is going to sound odd but I digest big news stories in the political realm by reading opinion journalism. I will read just a headline on CNN/Fox, etc then see what the "pundits" are saying about it. There are a bunch of writers I follow from across the political spectrum - ultra lefty, mainstream liberal, populist, paleo-conservative, neoconservative, libertarian, etc. You can find honest writers in all these categories. By honest I mean they argue the same set of facts - the spin they put on it depends on their worldview and political philosophy, but at least you know where they are coming from. Reading all the angles helps me decide what I think about a given topic. The key is to force yourself to also read opinions from smart people you disagree with. It is easy to get caught in an echo chamber otherwise.

that said, I pretty much check fox, CNN, and infowars (for fun) on the web, with occasional check of local sites too. bounce between fox & msnbc on TV (OANN from time to time)
although not strictly a news site, sometimes I first hear of a big news story on another website I frequent: texasbowhunter.com
