The news controls both sides of every conversation. Thinking that "if the media likes it I shouldn't" or "if the media doesn't like it I should" is a trap. The only proper course is to do research far beyond the media. Listen to what people who have done independent research have to say. Listen to all the arguments. Dig into documents. Use discernment and critical thinking.

None of this type of research will give you the Truth of what will happen, but they are the best chance you will have at arriving at it. The media is completely worthless, as in, no matter what they say, no meaningful conclusions can be derived from it. At best the media is sometimes useful as a tool to get references to good sources. Just ignore whatever narrative they give about those references.
