It is something we all need to be very vigilant about. I think there could be a good part 2 to this article. I view my self as much more a righ leaning centrist. And I consume a lot of news across a variety of sources and leanings. And it is still very hard to get to the truth (maybe you can make an argument, what is the truth), and I fall into these ditches.
