I have a habit of taking the news that I consume from multiple sources.

Ms. Merkel is an intelligent woman and she is clearly showing that she understands that the situation is serious. We also have a woman leading our country and she more or less told us the same last week.

They could well be all right, but some left-leaning and center ones are good to listen to now and then, just to temper the right-leaning ones

It is smart for your to have multiple sources to verify and cross verify each other.
