Getting my news from various sources, when gathering news. There are times I do opt for ignoring it all though.
It helps that my country has dozens of political parties, makes that there will be comments from all kinds of POV on almost every bit of news. Knowing the "colour" of the source helps too, to read more critical.
And, there is the application of logic, on what is written.
Funny example was what I read in a paper the other day, about vegetarians having 12% less of mortality, compared to non vegetarians. ........ And it isn't even April 1.
Lots of journalist just mix up some data into a saucy piece of text, without understanding what they are writing about.
