I mean she isn't particularly wrong, the idea is to form your own opinion from all available sources. It's thanks to that you start to realize a particular media bias (and so you take that information with a grain of salt)
Truth, but I'd go a step further. STOP listening to information being pushed your way by faceless actors. Turn off the TV, disable the news feed, block people who just post links to articles. Cut out the middle man wherever you can, as primary sources are the closest to the truth you can get. Seek out the truth yourself, however you can, and never stop seeking it.
Most of us would probably be better off just chatting with our neighbors about what's going on in our neighborhood instead of reading what's happening in the next city/state/nation over from us.
It's especially hard to see when truth is omitted, but if you look in aggregate from a lot of places the missing details add up. It becomes very apparent when you notice them all starting to push the same narrative at the same time.
It's kind of like reading multiple reviews for a movie/game. Each one is giving you a small slice of the truth, and then a bunch of BS from the writer. Even better if you know the bias of the writer ahead of time, and can filter what they write through that lens.
But often it's better to not be informed at all than to be misinformed.
