RE: Where do you get your news ?
It is indeed getting difficult to get the true story. The technique that I use now is to pigeonhole various channels/media and make a point of view. For example, if Goldman Sachs comes out with the statement that gold is going up then we know, in the short term it is going down. When the media is poo-pooing cryptos then you know, it is time to load up. Even various youtube channels take extreme views so one has to get a sense of direction and then make a judgement call. Critical thinking is the key.
I try to separate the grain from the chaff and write daily blogs on steem. Feel free to check it out.

Thanks @ajain, curious though, reading your reply, have you put any thought on this before ? do you have a defined funnel that you can share ? I am usually put off by the amount of news to the point that there is not worth paying attention to some at times.
Funnel? I use raw data such as actual price and then perform technical analysis. When it comes to geopolitical events, I try to obtain the ground level view by talking to people who are actually living out there and their experiences and observation instead of relying on media. There are quite a few people on steem from various countries who provide what's happening at the ground level. Then one also has to look for agenda of the war mongering. For example, when media puts out a story that Iran is funding North Korean missile program (an out of blue report), and then after couple of weeks it puts out a report that Iran supported the 9/11 terrorist act, then one has to question the motive.
