How does one become a "well-informed person" nowadays? I was taught to read multiple news sources as a start, but with the WSJ and NYT virtually unreliable, quite frankly I don't know what to do other than rely on Twitter and do my best to separate facts from psyops. What is the alternative?

I still use legacy media as a source of what’s going on, but then use social media as a way to independently verify reporting. NYT says “world on fire” but then look to see if the rest of the world is saying the same.

Aggregation of sources. The Guardian, BBC, Bloomberg, New York Times. Twitter used to be okay, now it’s unusable.

I’ve never been a fan of the American media. Democracy Now! being one of the few exceptions. The Guardian has remained fairly reliable. The Intercept is a good balance to mainstream media. For crypto I really like the Defiant. I assume everything I read on social media is false and seek corroboration.

Fickin lul at thinking twitter is better than nyt or wsj. The term you want is “media literacy” and chatGPT can teach you how to learn the skills you need.
