If you’re worried about misinformation, the most dangerous places are main stream media and a bad algorithmic selection on youtube or other “endless scroll” websites.
And the main stream media thing not because it’s obvious nonsense, because they having specific wording and focus you don’t really see until you look for it, so it looks balanced and fine and high quality, but you only get a good sense of what’s going on by reading from multiple international sources, even bad ones and noticing the differences in focus and tone and thinking about it.
If you have a source or person you trust implicitly, be sure to check them in depth from time to time.
