You can because the mainstream western media despite it's faults tends to be pretty good

Meanwhile there are tons of crazy extremists streaming. A lot of it doesnt provide an accurate view and might only be useful as a potentially biased first hand account to digged through by journalists and historians after the fact

There are also tons of non-crazy, non-extremists streaming.

Regardless of whether you listen to the streamers, it's an amazing tool for seeing what is actually happening in a specific place. You can ignore the commentary or ideology (not that that is really an issue, most streams are just normies) and see what is happening.

Western mainstream media is a lot of things, but comprehensive and nuanced it is not.
