I use a very basic approach.

First.
Follow the money ..
No matter what is going on someone usually stands to profit.
Does not mean their point or position is wrong but you may realise they are "invested" in a position.

I doubt if the NP folk care about the planet when they say they have the answer, the science will be used as a sales presentation

Second
If there is some major problem front lining the news look on page five to see what they want you to miss .

Third
Remember do not trust anybody as often the nicest are the best con men

The above seems simple but look at just one piece of news and try and apply without falling victim to your beliefs.

And follow the rules of Pythagoras try to understand why he made such rules....few can
