Yeah the MSM is pretty trash and its not ideal.
People running around with a very narrow, one-sided, caricatured and superficial worldview and idea of whats going on.
You can also get used to identifying the bias and propaganda lens different outlets use and can glean some info from there.
I follow a bunch of independent/smaller/libertarian journalists and commentators.
Twitter is actually pretty useful if you follow the right accounts.

cnn has a clear establishment bias and is obviously anti trump, that much is true.that does, however, not mean it's equivalent to FOX and other right wing outlets in terms of partisanship and truthfulness of their reporting.suggesting that downplays the actual propaganda and deliberate lies, and has been one of the main goals of trump for years now. if you're an intelligent person you don't uncritically accept that false equivalence.
Fully agreed, CNN is much worse than fox and most other right wing outlets
