Just one more slice, one more piece of information to lead to the pursuit of factual reporting.
Someone else mentioned podcasts, I love this format for learning about the topics of world import from real experts who love of their field of work. When you have a good host who asks exploratory questions, fascinating conversations can happen. I really like Rogan too. Others include Ezra Klein, Sam Harris, Steve Patterson, Malcolm Gladwell, Freakonomics, and a few more, just to get plenty of different points of view.
