Try a spot of fact checking.

Who would you recommend? Snopes? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Just about any mainstream news source would provide you with more
info than you clearly have at present

"If you do not read the mainstream media you are ill-informed
If you do read the mainstresm media you are mis-informed."

(After Mark Twain).

"In general you may believe what you read save in the one subject that
you actually know soumething about"

(can't remember who said that).

The point is that the mainstream media are the worst places to get facts
from.

If you use a range, across politics and location, you'll generally end up
in the right ballpark.

Not really true of some areas like climate change and brexit.

What I don't understand is where you/yours get the information that in
turn informs your opinion.

Its mostly from thinking about what shows up in the media.

It's clearly not books or science - inherent bias, you seem to insist.

Thats certainly true about how evil the EU is.

It seems to be a combination of hard code, anecdote and following a pack.

More prejudice.
