The best you can do is read everything, take a general consensus, and then make your own judegments based on your own philosophy.

I agree with you in the sense that you can't believe everything you read, and that using just the mentioned as your sources is not the best idea, but I was suggesting this as a start. I assumed that 'blue' is on a schedule, and doesn't have time to read tons of books. I consider both News Week and Time to be accurate sources. It's true, that you will find biased articles, and everything is semi one sided, according to the editor and the author of that article, but if you can discern what is true, and what might be slightly mis-leading, then you should have no problem. I don't use just those as my only information source. I, as you said, read around and come up with my own opinion, this after having discussions about it with family and friends.
but you can't totally blow off those sources as being compared to believing nonsense.
if you were referring other sources as being blogs, then I hate to break it to you, but many blogs get their info from News papers and other periodicals, just like anyone else.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
