The only advice I can give you is to not rely on most popular media sources information. The more known the source is, the more likely that it can be corrupted or bought to deliver you what government want you to get, not what really is happening. Seek for less known, independent sources and try to analyze multiple sources for equality of information that you receive. Do not just blindly consume what they are pushing to you. Think twice at every fact you get from them before accepting it.
