Good morning, CoSo!
The way the internet has been designed is to allow everyone to express an opinion, and to encourage obsessions with opinions and an endless cycle of responding to opinions with other opinions. This has many of the qualities of addiction: we seek out opinions we agree with and look for them to support our own, we get outraged at opinions we disagree with (but still crave because we are addicted to outrage) and then recoil to supportive opinions. Over and over again.

Saturating in opinions isn't a healthy way to live. It wastes our time and our energy and it leaves us stupider and more easily manipulated.
Opinions, it has to be said, are not facts and are not news. News is about things that actually happen. Opinion is just people filling up space with words that aren't based on anything. But the news market in its obsessive search for eyeballs keeps packaging opinions as news: "So-and-so says" or even "Some people say" (without attribution).

I think the healthier thing to do is to avoid 'news outlets' and persons who primarily pitch fact-free opinions at you and ignore articles that are all about 'so and so said this.' Don't concern yourself with what 'people are saying.' Look for anything that conveys actual facts, things that are directly observed or calculated from observations. If you have a mind, you can form your own opinions based on facts. You do not need to depend on other people to tell you what to think.
@DavidSalo "might" and "could" are red flags for me. Skip!
