I don't read "the news" anymore, but I do read/consume a lot of primary sources. So full videos/transcripts of speeches, white house press briefing almost daily, congressional hearings, debates (in full, not clips) etc.
My cycle is usually:
1) See some news event spawning on twitter/reddit/news frontpages.
2) Research it (by that I mean: look for a primary source that the news article being shared was based on and read that)
3) Despair at how the aforementioned are trying to use these events as wedges to drive people further towards hatred for one another.
