For me I'd just like to hear a story and any relevant details. But the news orgs usually take a small bit of information and the rest is their opinion and extrapolation without much evidence. You know because sometimes they will reach a "verdict" which is opposite what the judge and jury reach after days of reviewing all of the evidence. I've realized it's up to me to find all the info, and try my best to determine the truth, which sometimes is quite literally impossible.

Good recommendation. Scientific papers and tweets is pretty much the source of most large publications articles at this point.

Better to just search PDFs and tweets at this point than read their verbose outrage & clickbait wrappers.
