Yeah fair enough. Honestly, i don't want to check social media for the war. This are exactly the platforms where any Party can spread their version of the truth the easiest.
Unpopular opinion here, but the average story of the established quality media is closest to the truth still. Meaning, reading 4-5 different ones gets you covered quite well.
I personally feel like established media like Financial Times / Economist have taken a serious nosedive when it comes to covering Russia/China news.
All recent articles I read are clear propaganda pieces without any semblance of nuance or an attempt to assess the situation impartially.
I’ve taken liking to BNE Intellinews lately - they seem to toe the line of trying to rely on factual reporting backed up by data and not emotions. See eg their article on Ukranian agriculture sector. Their PRO section is really good.
