Find a topic in the news, try to read up both sides of an argument, then pick which side makes most sense.

When both sides are full of professional liars, that won’t work.

We might have to settle for not knowing.

I would recommend reading up on historical and dialectical materialism. It isn’t called the immortal science for nothing.

True. I was assuming it was a situation where you could find reliable sources. Bit thick there really.
