YSF156, you are making a good point that we_all are pretty much lost in the current sea of data.
You would think we have access to so much info, more than any time in the world, but it is usually impossible to figure things out, as sources are unreliable and the more data you have, the more it can be misrepresented. Nobody seems to know a good answer.
In math, if you make one error, you can prove anything. I.e if 0 = 1, then 0+2 = 1 + 2, that is 2=3, etc.
There is a Jewish method “if someone is telling non-truth in one aspect, then we do not believe anything he is saying”. Applying that would eliminate most public sources we have, not sure if this can work.
