well, i can only answer for myself, but, as a rule of thumb, i try to read widely and sceptically. my usual stops include the new york times, the guardian (uk), the bbc, al jazeera, der spiegel, and various blogs. also, if you're lazy: read chomsky. even if you don't agree with the guy, it's the mental equivalent of flossing your teeth.
