I'm afraid that "news" in the States has devolved into opinion reporting and talking heads telling us what to think. With the occasional dash of "Boise, Idaho couple boasts worlds fattest cat" or "kindergartener suspended for pointing finger at inanimate object" etc
With that said, it's best to source your news from a number of agencies, but even that practice is risky... Apparently the same guy writes for all the agencies.
