Generally I get my news from the Economist, recognizing that it's a left leaning libertarian publication, which is probably most in line with my views in general, although I certainly disagree with some of their views.

I rarely watch TV news, but when I do I tune into my local station. Local news programs are generally pretty unbiased.

Obviously the cable stations are trash and a tier below that is like HuffPo and Breitbart.

I don't follow the news because it's mostly "news". There aren't actually dozens of important events happening every day. The only drawback to not following what is in the news is that people consider me to be uninformed or out of the loop, which isn't so bad.

The Economist is definitely left of the dial on social issues. And they abhor populism (both left wing populism and right wing populism). In general they are what the alt-right/rightie populists would call "Globalists"--being that they are firm advocates of free markets and free trade. All the internet Alt Knights like Paul Joseph Watson loathe the Economist.

The Economist hates Trump but they do agree with him to an extent on deregulation.

I'll well enough in tune with the current Zeitgeist that I don't need a single source as such. The experiences I have on any given day, alongside the occasional bits of news/etc I encounter by chance, permit me to have a finger on the pulse of politics and the spirit of society at large. This results in a sort of 'gut feeling' or 'instinct' as to how things will go, and it has yet to be proven wrong.

Other benefits include becoming anti-political/economical, which is liberating.
