By doing on your own research on issues you care about. If you have a strong opinion on something and you're only source of information is your own echo chanmber then you're just intellectually lazy.

If you don't want to put in the time then fine, but maybe you shouldn't hold a strong opinion one way or the other. Your own echo chamber is likely no better than any other.

"doing your own research" is by definition your own echo chamber.

I don't think that term means what you think it means.

I mean real research, e.g., quanifiable fact, scientific research. This is not your opinion, it's data, and data tells us things we didn't know before.
