Yeah, it basically boiles down to your social circle, but that's how I do it (which is the question) personally I'm not invested in politics.

But that's always the case, isn't it? no matter the source, even if it's directly from an eye witness, that's what I meant when I said do research on the ones you find interesting.
While it works, I find the drawbacks is that very important news don't make it. My wife didn't know about the war in Russia. Many friends don't talk about the climate change and floods.
Unimportant news is also covered frequently - political stuff, most of it putting the blame on one group. If I hear of floods or lockdown, it's almost certainly phrased in a way that makes one party look bad. Which is probably why European hot wars don't make it to Malaysian news; there's no local politician to blame.
