It depends if you want to avoid the mainstream media just get your sources on the USA from other countries where objective reporting still exists.

Nhk Newsline from Japan, the BBC at times in the UK they are far more bias to Brexit , CTV or CBC from Canada, RT is pretty honest despite all the US fear mongering about it being the Kremlins shouting point from Russia, Al Jazeera from the Qatar,Dubai or CCTV from China to name a few.

The point is as long as it's not from the USA it probably is ok to watch news related to that country through it and not feel like being hit by endless propaganda waves.
Just be careful not to do the safe-space logic where everyone lives in filter bubbles that is a scarier thought than 1984 and the thought police, it would be the self-created thought police.
