I suggest going closer to the source (listening to what they say and do directly) than consuming carefully-selected information that comes to you through several layers of misdirection and alteration. One clear example was the recent set of Musk tweets that caused advertisers to pause their Twitter spend.

From my perspective, articles said he made anti-Semitic statements but I personally struggled to find the tweets themselves anywhere within the articles. Many people would read the headline, and take away that Musk is an anti-Semite without going further. For those who click the article they would still struggle to find out what exactly was said.

It was the same way with Trump. People had, and have, no idea who the man is because they only consume this ultra-refined vendetta-hatred filled hit pieces with little connection to reality. 95% of journalists voted Clinton. We can assume roughly the same amount are now aligned against Musk.
