Hey, I'm willing to learn. What's the BEST source of information according to YOU? I would much rather read the American Thinker, Reason, Spectator, Townhall, Wall Street Journal and other sources not deeply steeped in leftism. Since I am much more libertarian than authoritarian the first two are often highly relevant. When a person takes in too much biased media it is easy to fall pray to undercompensating for their slant. The New York Times is so far left that a tiny sliver of the most rabidly partisan leftists perceive it as more conservative than themselves. If there were any media outlets with that extreme amount of conservative bias they would have about five followers. Certainly no one would consider them a valid news source. Yet there are some who pretend that the Times is a valid news source. This is at least three years old, but it covers the subject of media bias very thoroughly.

What's the BEST source of information..... That requires an answer so big it's probably indigestible to someone new to the game. Acquiring the background to interpret the daily flow is a beginning. A subscription to Cafe Hayek's daily Email might be one start. Following every link might be overwhelming, but reviewing their quotation of the day could be an interesting exercise. Imprimis' free monthly essay is another possible bet. A few months of these might determine whether you're interested in following other sources I suspect would be new to you.
