How can I evaluate media bias on my own? Or are there good resources to do this?
I am wondering how to watch different news sources with a more objective perspective.

Whoo! Good luck! It's usually pretty obvious which "side" each media source is aligned with, so you'll have to run everything they say through the appropriate filter. The one thing they all share is a bias toward reinforcing polarization -- because the more polarized their audience is, the more easily they can convey the excitement of impending doom from the "bad guys" on the other side. Remember, rage/terror/hate sells soap.
