From a propaganda perspective I know it's hopeless. I can try to weed through both sides and come to an approximation of what I think the truth is.
The problem is that it's all repetitive propaganda stories. I just want an approximation of a straight news feed: Earthquake here, fire burned down a building there, Syria shot missiles into Golan Heights...
From all the years in communism and later watching the western media doing the same thing (but with more colors and fun) I realized that the only way to get the best "news" is to not consume them.
By consuming their propaganda you are just giving them a reason to exist, they literally feeding from your fear and concerns.
Just relax, do your own business and move away. The world is much better without them.
Bitcoin is the best example or destination to where you should dive in, when you are overwhelmed with their garbage news. There's so much to learn about Bitcoin that you will never finish.
I will repeat this over and over: focus on merchant adoption (if you are not a coder that builds bitcoin apps). Is the key to go forward. Be the bridge between bitcoin devs and consumers if you have some good knowledge about Bitcoin.
Just by starving the beast (fiat machine) all the rest will go away, including all those fake
propaganda news.
This meme have a true meaning that few still get it...

I agree with your points (especially merchant adoption), but what I'm looking for is a basic awareness of events going on in the world. Call it curiosity.

Follow ZeroHedge on Twitter, not unbiased but usually quite blunt and interesting headlines/articles

I check Zero Hedge all day, but only because its slant happens to coincide with my own 95 percent of the time. I believe they are only a few guys, so there are obvious limits to what they can cover.
