I would check with other sources to confirm certain things.

A lot of it is just the usual things that are public and reported by others.

But they often push certain angles to a story and can be clickbaity.

It's too bad the country doesn't have better standards because they do report things that you won't find other places and is news worthy. But you can't immediately know if it's accurate .
