I had similar thoughts and then quit reading news ever since.
Opinion pieces are even worse they are never fact checked.

While in a perfect world, we would have factual arguments laid out in opinion pieces. They are merely that, someone's opinions and are even more playground space for self-proclaimed pundits than actual journalism.
I have found interviews and podcast to be a better source now.
'Opinion pieces ... are never fact checked' - did you fact check that?
Yes, i did but a few times that's enough to make up my mind
> I had similar thoughts and then quit reading news ever since.
You didn't. You're commenting on a news article. What you mean is that you quit reading [that|these] specific source(s).
I did not read the article but the title and the top comment here before commenting.
I follow scientists/engineers on youtube thats all to get all the knowledge i need.
Through debunked videos i've come to know the state of current journalism.

It’s a lazy world we live in. In times of fast journalism, there is not time waste of fact check. The news are bets to a large extent.
