What's important to keep in mind is that things in the yellow and above are still valid journalism. Analysis pieces are good reads and provide some excellent insights. The key for anything like this is just knowing what you're reading. Many people read something that is heavily opinionated and take it for fact reporting. Opinions and analyses can be well researched, well reasoned pieces, they just need to be taken for what they are. This doesn't automatically mean they are fake (especially those in the yellow box), just recognize that this is someone giving their take on something.

I personally read The Weekly Standard, National Review, Foreign Policy, The Nation, The Atlantic, The Guardian, WaPo, Axios, Politico, BBC, NPR, PBS, CSM, The Hill, and the wires on a regular basis (which means when I am actively looking for things). But, I also follow accounts for Mother Jones, Vox, Washington Examiner, The American Conservative, and a couple of others because sometimes it is fun to see what they say.

Here is how I have things arranged, because I am a bit of a nerd:


I already had these all in my favorites, then this chart made me put separators in (and alphabetize, because why not go all the way when organizing?)
