I find that as long as I recognize the attempts at manipulation, they do very little. This is why I always talk about the "news" and listen to what others have to say to avoid missing points of view about something. Combine this with a vast number of sources, and I feel prety well informed. Feel the bias from all directoins and whittle it down to the bare facts. Then assume that the facts are either hyped up or watered down, and you'll have a sense of what is really happening.
