This is why I watch all international news channels like Aljazeera, and Euronews to get a world view of what is going on outside the USA. I can’t watch news channels in the USA because it’s all a bunch of arguing about Dems and republicans. There’s so much more happening in this world, and it’s a-shame how people in the USA are sheltered from seeing it, or not wanting to care to see it.

I will say taking your classes and wanting to learn about what happens in the world has help me personally and also in my career

I agree. I haven't, though, given up on US sources. I am finding the major all news channels more and more partisan. There bias is largely on what they choose to report. PBS, perhaps, and Cspan, as well as sixty minutes seem to merit some viewing. But I would recommend outside sources, particularly print. In the US I still find the Atlantic, the New Yorker, the New York Review of Books, and probably several other journals to be high quality. And perhaps a good daily newspaper or several? Maybe read the NYT and the WSJ in tandem?
