1) Most of my media comes from CBC and social media (redit). I do look at r/conservative regularly to see what's trending there. I also use to peak at foxnews.com and rt.com, but foxnews.com doesn't like ad blockers so I stopped going there.
2) They definitely focus on different things and have different views on the same events.
3) No, it is almost impossible to tell a story without your perspective bleeding out as you focus on different things.
4) You need to know that the reporter/organization has pre-existing views and dogmas while consuming the media and read between the lines. Often there are things they they don't report on the jump when reading a story. That works with people too, its what they are not telling you that tells you everything you need to know.
